    Some of your complaints don’t make any sense. The Rolls Royce has buttons for changing gears and they’re also next to the start/stop button. You won’t mistake a metal, round, engraved button for plastic, square buttons. Lincoln did an amazing job. Also, for the curious minds - nothing happens when you push that button while driving. Lincoln thought of everything! It’s luxury in detail. That headroom on the back seat you’re complaining about is because you’re sitting upright. There is a groove in the roof, positioned where your head would be if you actually sit right. It gets even better when you adjust your seat back. Don’t complain or people wouldn’t buy this car! We need more of this leather, metal, wood and class and less performance, spoilers, fake vents and plastic everything! Go Lincoln!

    Great review .. my first time watching Chris and I'm quite impressed. The color of this particular press car really added some pop to the already great shots, also the reviewers concise, clear speech was a nice departure from many of those out there who are trying way too hard. Onto the car, my only criticisms are the horrific burl wood trim and the fact that Ford shoved a hell of a motor under hood and fitted it to a 6 speed slush box, in a car that costs 77k!! Fit this baby with the 10 speed auto and offer a "firm" or "sport" mode for the dampers, let's see what she can do when the mood strikes !! The Fusion platform has at times been praised for its handling chops, so we know the bones are there.. Almost every driver gets ambitious at one point or another ! Great review guys. I've been waiting for some good feedback on the Conti for a while now, this is the best I've seen yet. Thank you !

    In an odd way, this is the best review of this particular vehicle I have come across, kudos to you young man! All of the negative faults of this car and the manufacturers reasoning behind them were explored and "pleasantly" rejected - the rear seat headroom is unfathomable - ("I'm 5'9 and . . ." ) that said, in my opinion (and I realize that matters not) Lincoln has a few more iterations to go before achieving their goal with this car (whatever that 'goal' is) Looks wise however, the exterior is way better than the Cadillac edge-machines and the interior is heading in the right direction.

There were a few things that I wanted my stankin' Lankin' to address & this car does... but honestly, I feel all of what was done here could've been embellished into the MKS & have it caddy on for a few more years; LWB... power increase... black label it...

    "This Continental doesn't have a sporting bone in its body"... as someone who has test driven all three engines the 3.0 is total sport in that its beyond quick. And the shifter buttons why are you asking why they would place those next to the start button. WTH comment is that. Where else would you put them?! Ppl complaining about this bend my mind. Its the easiest simplest way to put a car in gear because its one touch of a button. Find something useful to report on like the torque vectoring which ahem is SPORT, and the car has a SPORT setting.

    Beautiful! Now that the Aussie Falcon and Fairlane are dead I'd love Ford to import this into Australia with RHD. The only thing I think Ford should consider is adding a wide chrome garnish across the front and rear bumper which would set it apart from all the other painted bumper cars. The other thing I'd like (but know will not happen) is for this car to be RWD like all our Falcons and Failanes were.

    It's not like you're going to accidentally turn off the car if you press the engine start button instead of the gear button.
    You would have to press and hold that button to turn it off, or press the brake and put the car in park first.
    The engine start/stop button is not to the gear shifter on a lot of cars.

    Decent review, although are you really going to mistake those shifter buttons? Shame to hear about the backseat headroom, I think this is a criticism that is far too common. If an average 6ft tall person can't sit in the back, what are the seats really good for?

    I agree that last 5 percent really hurt. Lincoln has a history of making incredible concepts but they rarely deliver into production. The Concept Continental was gorgeous it was lower, wider, and longer than this production model and like it was so eloquently stated here in the review it really hurt it. Lincoln needs to learn from those mistakes if it wants to compete. If you can produce a great looking concept why can't they produce a great looking production model They did it with the 2016 MKX.

The only real attention-getter is those door-handles, which I like because they remind me of a 1950s Packard. This is likely the result of Lincoln trying to find its niche in the market place as part of its revitalization. However, I still think this Continental is the best effort Lincoln's done in DECADES, so I hope their evolution continues.

    This car is overpriced, Lincoln isn't a luxury brand and has no business selling a 75k car this car should be 60k max. Lincoln still has some work to do and they aren't on the same level as BMW, mercedes, Cadillac, Audi and lexus.

      This is worth every bit of the $75,000 loaded price. My aunt owns one, and I've ridden in it plenty of times. The real problem is that people are badge whores.

    77,000 for a Fusion?

      Zachary F The Lincoln Continental uses a stretched Ford Fusion platform. For $77,000 it should really have a bespoke rear wheel drive platform like the Cadillac CT6 has.

      A loaded Fusion is 40 grand and on a world class platform.....

      At 17,000 for a Ford fusion, but not for a piece of garbage disposal Chevy Malibu. This Lincoln Continental way better than the Cadillac ct6 shit. Bravo Lincoln

      Jiwoon Hur Haven't started the vid yet but my guess is he said the base model was fwd but never mentioned that the higher trim levels were awd but maybe I'm wrong

    • @jiwoonhur9892
      @jiwoonhur9892 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Puff the Magic Dragon I'm aware that you can get awd. It's the fact that the car is built on fwd platform which will be inherently different from rwd based awd system.

  • @icegiant1000
    @icegiant1000 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Biggest problem? Because they neutered it from auto-show to dealer-floor... I cant tell if this is the new Continental or a used Lincoln MKZ... ya know, that small little Lincoln based on the Ford Fusion that you can buy used for about $18k? Never has my guess for how much a new car costs been as off as this one. Seriously, a sedan, from Lincoln, not even a V8, and you want HOW much? Wasn't your last epic sedan based on the Ford Taurus? And reviewers hated it? And resale was terrible? And you want how much? Meh. Oh, and when a car is offered in FRONT or AWD? Not REAR or AWD? You know exactly where its pedigree started... budget front wheel drive econobox.
