Great post on the price differential. So Lincoln is playing the Hyundai game and offering a large car with all the bells and whistles for the price of the GS, 5 Series and E Class. It is unfortunate they can't price it close to the 7 Series and LS, but with a transverse engine that would be impossible. They are probably smarter than Cadillac, trying to price similarly to the Germans and then having to offer heavy discounts to move cars.

Lincoln dealers now accepting Continental orders.
For anyone interested, I got a notice from Lincoln today that dealers are now taking orders for the new upcoming Continental, though I, personally, would never order or buy a car sight unseen or without a test-drive.
They really seem to be going all-out for customer service on this one....and there's no note saying that it is only available for Lincoln Black label customers.

I think this is gong to be a very interesting match-up, late this year, between the Continental and the Cadillac CT6. Both models are badly needed in the marketplace, and both are replacing what IMO are unimpressive and poorly-done predecessors (XTS, MKS). I plan to review and test-drive both of them, and if, I like one of them enough....who knows? 
(My biggest potential problem, though, along those lines, is that the condo-parking spaces, where I live, aren't really large enough for a car that size without giving it what I would call an adequate ring of protective-space around it. That's one reason why I tend to drive vehicles of smaller size)

2017 Lincoln Continental pricing undercuts Cadillac CT6
Base model starts at $45,485, 400-hp Black Label priced at $69,105
Base model starts at $45,485, 400-hp Black Label priced at $69,105
For 40,000 people interested in purchasing a new Lincoln Continental, today is the day they've been waiting for. We have the full and complete list of prices and optional extras for the luxury brand's big, new sedan.
The Continental will be offered in four trims – Premiere, Select, Reserve, and Black Label. The Premiere starts at $45,485 (including $925 in destination pricing), while the Select kicks off at $48,440. Speaking of the Select, the base 3.7-liter V6 can be swapped for a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, if you've got $2,250 to burn, driving the price up to $50,690. Going to the Reserve gets you more kit and the 2.7-liter comes standard, but the price increases to $54,840. Finally, the base Black Label starts at $63,840. In the case of both the high-end trims, Lincoln will let you upgrade to the eagerly anticipated 400-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6 for $3,265. All-wheel drive is a $2,000 option regardless of trim or engine.
It's easy to drive those prices up, of course. Lincoln is offering five options packages, spread across the Select, Reserve, and Black Label trims. The Select Plus (blind-spot monitoring and Sync 3) adds $1,255 to the price of the Select. The $695 Climate Pack (automatic high beams, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and rain sensing wipers) and $3,105 Technology Pack (360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, Enhanced Active Park Assist, lane keeping assist, and forward collision warning) can be added to the Select, Reserve, and Black Label.
The $4,300 Rear-Seat Pack (heated, cooled, and multi-contour rear seats, inflatable rear belts, and a panoramic sunroof) will pamper backseat passengers on the high-end Reserve and Black Label, while the $5,000 Luxury Package will add LED headlamps and a 19-speaker Revel stereo to the Reserve trim. Standalone options include Lincoln's "Perfect Position" seats, a $1,500 feature that adds 30-way adjustability. That's just silly. More common features include a $1,130 Revel stereo, a $1,750 panoramic sunroof, $750 20-inch wheels, and a $335 CD player. So yeah, don't expect many of those base prices to make it to the showroom without some swelling. By our math, the Conti tops out at a cool $82,400.
Lincoln says it's big target for the Conti is Audi A6, and its pricing matches up neatly with that car. The front-drive 2.0-liter turbocharged A6 Premium starts at $47,125. The mid-range Premium Plus is $50,825 for the 2.0-liter turbo or $58,325 for the 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 model, and the range-topping A6 Prestige will require a check for $62,525. Lincoln also does a solid job bridging the pricing gap between the Cadillac CTS and CT6. The former starts at $45,560 and runs up to $60,950, while the CT6 runs from $54,490 on up to $65,390. Only the 400-hp Black Label will cost more than the CT6.

Wow, seems spendy, not sure I would plunk down $80K+ for a Lincoln. However in typical Ford fashion after the first month they will have a $10-15K discount on the spec'd out models. It is a nice car, but I can think of quite a few cars I would spend $80k on first.

Given how disappointing both the previous Lincoln MKS and Cadillac XTS flagship sedans were, there's probably a number of owners just waiting for the Continental and the CT6 to debut so they can trade up. My guess is that big incentives will not be needed.......but, of course, we'll see.

The top end black label price is too much, but nobody will ever buy that anyways. Otherwise pricing seems okay. It will be steeply discounted also.
My guess is within 6 months you can buy one 10k off.
