2017 Lincoln Continental
#211
I'm sure that Caddy and Lincoln would prefer to not have to discount their flagship sedans too much, but if history is an indicator, they will before too long. As mentioned, $10k is probably not out of the question.

My guess is within 6 months you can buy one 10k off.

Welcome back.....have't seen you post for a while.
Both are considered full-size by today's American-market standards....but drivetrains differ.
The Continental, like its MKS predecessor, is essentially a slightly stretched version of the FWD Taurus platform, with a V6. Also, like the MKS, it has an AWD option.
The CT6, on the other hand, is done on the all-new GM Omega platform specifically done for the CT6, though it may (?) also be shared with some future large Buick sedans. It comes in both RWD and AWD versions, unlike its XTS predecessor, which was FWD/AWD. It has more engine-choices than the Continental, which comes on N/A and twin-turbo V6s. The CT6, like the Continental, has regular and twin-turbo V6s, but also a base turbo 2.0L four.

I looked at the CT6 for Cadillac in Canada. There is already a $2000 incentive and the vehicle has yet to hit the showroom. Perhaps it's not tracking well internally within Cadillac.

Lincoln is calling their new theme, "Quiet Luxury" Sort of like Buick

The Canadian market, though, is not the same as that of the U.S., for several reasons.

You miss what they mean by "quiet luxury". They're not saying the car is quiet, they're saying the sort of luxury is quiet. It's not brash, it doesn't have an in your face attitude.
"Quiet wealth"

OK....I think see what you and Jill are getting at. But, in the sense you are using the term, a better adjective might be "subdued" rather than quiet.

They've actually used that term before, along with other themes...."Travel Well", and "American Luxury". In my book, though, "quiet" means low-decibels, though I understand how it can be used to mean subdued.
BTW...if you (or anybody else reading this thread) gets a chance to try out or test-drive a Continental, by all means, give us a report. I plan to review one ASAP......along with the CT6.

I don't mind the "quiet luxury" theme. No doubt, a lot of thought went into it. I'm sure the narration in their ads will use words like understated, refined or something similar.
