I agree too much chrome on the console, but this car is probably aimed at those who miss their Town Cars....and, if possible, to bring in some of the former Buick Lucerne and Cadillac DTS customers as well.

The interior looks........... old and in the wrong decade. "we introduce to you today in 2015 the all new 1979 Lincoln Continental. Complete with barely usable head restraints!" (audience gasps)
Exterior looks good though.
I can't wait to see the new flagship Cadillac sedan. That looked real good!

The new platform is a stretched version of the one used for the Fusion. Powerplant is a 3 liter V-6 Ecoboost and the car is AWD. I disagree that RWD is necessary for a luxury car, Audi seems to do well with their FWD architecture with AWD. I wonder if the 3 liter is Lincoln's version of the 2.7 used in the new F150 and Edge. Alex on Autos could not stop commenting on how fast the Edge Sport was with the 2.7.
I really like the style even though much is overdone for "Concept" purposes like the giant wheels and interior chrome.
I wonder if Ford will get a version to replace the Taurus?
It looks like Lincoln is finally on a roll.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the exterior make it to production (except maybe for the wheels/tires, which would probably self-destruct on the first major pothole)...but parts of the interior, I agree, are exaggerated.

this looks way bigger (longer) than a taurus. continental in the past was always bigger too.
regardless, why all the comparing with ford fusion and engines, etc. i don't see as much comparing on here between lexus and toyotas or audi and vw, etc. regardless, platform and component sharing is done everywhere, it has to be or vehicles become stupidly expensive.
