Can this save Lincoln? Word is it's based on an enlarged Fusion platform.
C/D: Lincoln Continental concept
Re: C/D: Lincoln Continental concept
Don't forget about the Audi A8-L side profile.I really think Cadillac pinned this design. The overall shape is elegant without forsaking the corporate identity and reads as a contemporary design. The waterfall DRL's are an interesting touch, but I guarantee they're absolutely striking at night or when contrast with a dark paint color. I can't speak for everyone obviously, but as an early 30's individual of means, if I were in the market for a larger premium sedan, it would be a toss up between the CT6 and a Model S. I may be the fringe, but they offer a fresh alternative to the "Name+L+V8" flagship equation.
Also, in my unprofessional opinion, this eats the face off the Lincoln Continental Concept... or should I say the Bentley Flying Spur with a Lincoln badge and a KIA Tiger nose grill?

How is the Continental concept "so Lincoln" if it's copying everything BUT Lincoln? Whereas the CT6 actually looks like a Cadillac. Strange world.

Re: C/D: Lincoln Continental concept
Why are people impressed with the Continental concept again?The Lincoln Continental concept previews the upcoming MKS replacement, which will be based on an extended version of the Ford Fusion’s front-drive platform. A slightly larger, rear-wheel-drive sedan with a fast roofline, which was to be based on the Ford Mustang, has been axed.
Re: C/D: Lincoln Continental concept
I am going to stay to my original opinion. I think the exterior looks awesome, and is the best looking car Lincoln has made since the LS.
I think they did a great job of making the 90's look, but modernizing it. I would prefer a late 60's, and RWD, but they picked 90's.

Gotta say, if I was alive in the 60's to understand first hand the awesomeness of what the Continental was then, I think I would have been more mad about the 97 than the new concept:

Re: C/D: Lincoln Continental concept
The new concept doesn't have enough angles if it is supposed to evoke the 60s ones. Which is one reason I've mostly been a fan of the Cadillac Art & Science theme (since the 2003 CTS). It seems like everything (Japanese and European cars) are all mostly a collection of curves whereas Cadillac still uses angles.
Re: C/D: Lincoln Continental concept
Agreed on all accounts.
Just to clarify though, they weren't trying to use the 60's version for the concept. I was saying that it would have made for a cooler concept if they made a modernized 67 instead of the 97.
