it's just funny when all the dumb ppl who cant even afford one of these keep bitching that the new conti won't sell but in reality the sales figure of this new conti is way better than the so called "better car" ct6.
I want this Continental so bad. I never want or desire what everyone else is driving.....that means no BMW 5 series, Audi A6, or Pedestrian E class Mercedes....I like the Continental and the Volvo V90....getting back to true luxury not canyon carving...I never understood why those who want true luxury are interested in feeling every bump on the road when that contradicts what Luxury stands for....isolation, quiet luxury (Lincoln's mantra), and effortless power. Way to go Lincoln
Did you ever get one? This vehicle is now dead so you should be able to get a good deal on it.
@@Nightbird. man I ended up getting a good deal on the Continental's brother the MKz...got a good deal on the CPO that I couldn't pass up. Loaded 'The Continental had some good deals but the car note for the ones I wanted were out my price range 😒😰
@@Chitwn81 Glad you got a nice ride, bro! But I know EXACTLY what you mean about not being able to get a good car note on the one you wanted..which is probably the Black Label I was looking at too..lol. I can't believe how much they still want for those! 😲
@@Nightbird. Yea man had a nice 2017 Continental Reserve and it had 24000 miles with everything I wanted including Moonroof, Ultima Revel Sound system and the seats asking $31.5k however once you add tax and financing my monthly payment would have been close to $700/mo plus another $200 for insurance that's almost $1k a month 😔😰...
@@Chitwn81 Damn! You could lease a MB S Class for $1k a month..that's crazy for a Lincoln! And then they wonder why we be driving old school Linc's and Caddy's from the 80's..lol. 😆
"Let me change the radio station... oops I went in reverse right into a river!" "Let me open the doors... oh crap!!!"
Stephen Mason 😂😂😂😂😂
Stephen Mason Or learn time drive?
Why would your radio controls be on the side of a touch screen aren’t they usually underneath? 😂😂
Reason that self parking is so good is because Ford invented that option
I don't care for ford usually but hats off this time bc this shit looks damn good
Another large luxury sedan with no headroom. When are car manufactures finally going to get it?
I totally agree with you bro. This beast looks sexy.
In case of a power failure you have to hope the driver is alive or you are screwed
In China, instead of regulations for minimum safety they have regulations for minimum danger.
I think this is something that needs to be addressed. Sooner or later, something will happen where you won't be able to exit the drivers door. The emergency latch should be on all 4 doors.
This review was perfect to me,your spontaneous info delivery was on point.
Alright. Alright. Alrightttt...
I hate that push button gear selector.
I wish they had introduced this car with the center opening doors as some of the early expectations had it.
They have it, it's just really rare and expensive. I think it's the "coach edition" that has the suicide doors
100K plus!
A 2020 can be from $53k up depending on the options you want
I like the outside styling, not too chromey. The interior UX on the centre console is a mess though, why would you put the gear modes right next to the touch screen? The size of the screen already looks dated as well. This for $75k or a 'base' Panamera for $85k, I know which one gets my money.
The push-button controls are a brilliant feature, a nice nod to Chrysler's push-button TorqueFlite. I like it a lot.
Great Review!
I can tell you right now, because I have owned over 45 cars in my life that this Lincoln makes the Cadillac CT6 look cheap by comparison when you see them side-by-side on the road or when you look at their Interiors together! this Lincoln has a luxury presence that the Cadillac CT6 is lacking
the CT6 is on another level in terms of Luxury and tech. and "more presence" are you kidding me? this looks like a bloated Tuarus inside and out. i guess the elegant, sleek, and luxurious design goes over the head of the mentally inept.
Justin Bouche you are dead wrong as I have seen them both in person and I could afford either car. I will contend that the CT6 is a far superior car and handling but as far as Road presence and interior design..... the CT6 is not on the same level I'm sorry
Justin Bouche and just to be clear, I am not talking about technology I am talking about how the cars interior packaging is delivered in the Lincoln compared to the CT6. The CT6 is constantly grilled about its cheap interior Plastics considering the price tag and I have yet to hear the same level of criticism about the interior of the new Lincoln Continental. To be truthful I would still take the ct6 over the Continental because I believe it's a far superior car as far as entertaining to drive and yes technology!
*i will rip your entire position apart*
1. *the materials in the CT6 are far more premium coming with Nappa, semi-aniline, mulan leather unlike the conti. The cabin features full suede headliner unlike the conti, carbon fiber in place of plastics which are found in the conti, less over all plastic usage in the CT6, more premium materials are used and a wider variety of premium woods / leathers are used versus the plastic conti.*
*(so better materials, more premium materials, and more exotic materials are in the CT6)*
2. *the CT6 uses state of the art chassis construction making it over 1000 lbs lighter, its a unique architecture that is quieter, lighter, stiffer, and higher quality than the Taurus FWD Lincoln conti.*
*(RWD, light weight, advanced platform unlike the rebadged Taurus)*
3. *FAR more performance in the CT6 thanks to a meatier power band, more power, and less weight*
4. *more Luxury features such as MR control, Rear wheel steer, stronger massaging seats, LCD rear view, rear massaging seats, and a much more robust 34 speaker sound system*
*so go ahead, praise the slower, lower tech, FWD, rebadged Tarsus, which comes with less exotic leathers, woods, and suede's for the Lincoln badge.*
*your position has been debunked and destroyed* GG.
Justin Bouche what are you talking about? I already said the car/CT6 has more technology than the Lincoln and it is a better-performing car thsn the Lincoln. I'm talking exclusively about the presentation and quality of the materials in the car and the exterior design of the car. The ct-6 looks like a blown-up ATS or CTS where's to the Lincoln had his own platform and doesn't look like any other car on the road within the Ford family!
You're entitled to your opinion and I can respect that, but you haven't debunked anything. Look at all the reviews when the CTS is against Mercedes eClass, the BMW 5 Series and the ct-6 is constantly grilled about its cheap interior bits. That's what I'm talking about.
what does this compete with? 5 series e class GS or 7 series s class LS?
I would really say it depends what trim level you get. The base model is on par with the A6 E300 And 525i but if you go up into the black label then your competing with the S550 and 740i
What S class can you get fully loaded at $74,000 or 750/760 for that matter....talking easily north of $90K large and S class goes well over $125,000
A very base S Class
What is the car falls into water????
Looks just like any other sedan
Why do you guys post the sane video twice??
Why are you making another video on this.....
Nice car but just can't love the head unit of the small screeen
I see these becoming the new airport limo car.
to me has a generic look the quality of the materials is pretty much up there alittle to shiny for my taste I'd rather have a Cadillac but the pricing would be higher
same video from yesterday
A hodgepodge car. and no mechanical door opening is dangerous.
SORRY, not buying one until they make it V8 and RWD...
the mercedes AMG had a 3.0L turbo it claimed was fastest evr made. this beats it
Indont the logic as to why they cant make the 3.7 by twin turbo? Why only the 2.7 and 3.0? All three models should offer twin turbo. It's a heavy sedan. That v6 will need all the power it can get. I reckon the 3.7L have gotten about 475 hp. When the hell is this trend of small lawn mower engines with turbo going to end? They could have have made a small v8 and still got the same gas milage and the price difference wouldn't have been that drastic. It's already nearing 50k. I wonder what realibility look like for this. I have my reservations. If your going to spend almost 50k. Head on over to Lexus. At least your guaranteed quality and realibility.
Shows up in my feed 2023, this car was doa. I was very enthusiastic about it when it came out, but clearly, Lincoln is dead
It's a shame that this car is so close to being great. I had high hopes.
It is great.
Id rather have a Buick LaCrosse for much less money
Too bad it's front wheel drive.
cjdacka AWD is an option
front wheel drive biased mate, not a replacement for rwd
The A6 is front wheel drive
@@cjdacka It's easily a replacement for RWD, especially when you consider that RWD cars are close to useless in snowy environments.
I smell cheap seats
I feel i have to say my age 36 and the fact ive happily owned all three German brands new at the time when I say Im buying one of these. Why? Because everyone says no one in my age group would consider such a car. Top that no one would cross shop the Germans with this car. Im here to tell you yes they are. Ive driven the new E and newest 5 and honestly im not that wowed. And I loved my X3 and Z4 M Roadster. The ML was nice. Hey be honest Lincoln is bad ass if you say it looks cheap then your just an ass. "Everything you can do I can do better" rings true here when you compare dollar to dollar.
Aurora Jones I disagree
You are wrong. BMW out of warranty means Bring My Wallet.
Reminds me of the long awaited rebirth of the Thunderbird. Both are misses ... although it looks promising as a livery unit or a rental car - rear headroom notwithstanding.
This is a solid hit for me. It's easily the best offering Lincoln has put out in DECADES.
I don't know y they won't put suicide door on it. If bentley and royals and Mazda with that little door and also on pick ups can do it they they can. Lincoln is still not sure what they r doing. That's y they went to china. Plus 70 grand in the us. And most likely almost 90 in Canada. Fucking terrible. This won't sell
They've sold close to 8000 in 6 months, which is pretty good for Lincoln.
very disappointed. the interior quality is not much better than what is found in the new lacrosse... i was really hoping Lincoln could finally make something to take on Cadillac. the only thing that seems like its able to match or come close to the CT6 is the seats, other than that cheaper materials, less features, and over all less luxury.
Justin Bouche You say that the CT6 FAR outperforms the Conti, and it does not. The 3.0L TTV6 in the CT6 has only four more horsepower than the 3.0L TTV6 in the Conti. They both share the same exact amount of torque, and they both hit 60 in 5 seconds.
Robby S he is just mad because the ct6 is a boat anchor lol Motortrend said the CT6 had the worst leather ever haha
a boat anchor? when it weighs less than a 5 series? hmmm.
Robby S it weighs near 500 lbs less, its RWD vs FWD, its chassis is far stiffer that is what i was referring to in terms of performance, also it is important to keep in mind the 3.0 in the CT6 has a far thicker power band thanks to duel stage turbos.
Justin Bouche yup boat anchor with the cheapest leather ever put in a car lol
Just buy a German car.
This car is overpriced, buy an LS instead
JDDIZZLEEE it’s not.
Ford , wake up , put this next to a Merc and it looks like a Toyota Camry from ten years ago , whoever decided that this would be the design too be manufactured should be immediately fired and for Gods sake ask people outside the top brass at Ford as they seem to have absolutely no idea of good design and haven't for 50 years .
Bruce Burns their sales figures say otherwise
your entitled to your opinion .
This is a quality design. Not showy, restrained, but distinctive.
Bruce Burns was right. And I said the same thing when this first came out. We were both correct because the Continental is now dead.
Ugly car. Ford needs to learn from Germans.
whatever04811 really? I think it's great looking for the segment.
A matter of taste. There isn't a German car that appeals to me, but I'm all over this Lincoln.
really all Mercedes cars look the same i cant tell a difference from a c or an s class if anything they need to learn from the british ,bently and jaguar .
Booooring car
Booooring car
