They don't have to sell cars to "survive" is my point. You make a lot of comments about decisions made by these "companies" leading to failure, when that isn't automatically the case. Lincolns sales, or even Cadillacs sales are so insignificant compared to mother Ford or GM that it really doesn't matter. It all depends on whether these companies want to remain in the luxury space.
(all this talk, though, makes me even more eager to finally check one out...even more than with the CT6)

Tell that to KBB.
It ranks #1 on the Most Comfortable Cars Under 30K list.

C&D tends to rank vehicles from a sport-oriented point of view, and, in that sense, they are correct.....the Maxima probably is on top. And, of course, they have never liked Buicks......except for the Regal GS.

The RL has done fine for Acura.

I was hoping the new Lincoln Continental would have Continental tires, but they put Good Year Eagle F1 tires, the same OEM as the Maybach S600 V12 model.

Yeah, that gets back to what I was telling Jill. Both the RL and RLX ended up great products that, for the most part, sit around collecting dust. The problem is, though, if Acura does dump it, they have no flagship. And if the E-shifter and start-stop system in the new upcoming 2017 Buick LaCrosse turn off some potential buyers (and I don't care for them myself), the RL, along with the Lincoln MKZ, could be an alternative, especially with Acura shops discounting them heavily to move them.

It remains to be seen how this new car does. I think it will do OK but the poor fuel economy ratings are a bit of a concern. The other thing that might be of concern is that there are no reviews out yet? Perhaps they are hiding something.

Lincoln has botched this whole introduction from the get go. Mr "Alright alright alright" should have been driving a Continental in adds the past six months. They should have brought them out to classic car shows and parked them next to restored '60s examples. Should have had them out at cars and coffee. If they want younger buyers you have to get off your *** and find them. It is not a "build it and they will come" this is not Lincoln of 50 years ago. Pre release 50 to celebs, rappers and Sema guys. You have to create a buzz. And besides us car guys and gals no one in the general public knows about it or frankly gives a damn.
