lol wellllll, the one I saw today was parked in the handicapped spot at the grocery store haha.
I'm still kinda impressed though with how many Contis I've seen; here people spend their 50-70k+ on big SUVs, like overwhelmingly so. It seems like nothing but Tahoe/Yukon/Denalis, QX80s, Escalades, TONS of GX460s, etc. SUVs are definitely the prevalent choice, not sedans, here.

I'm with Jill on this one. Although I'm probably older than the type of buyer she is referring to, I'd probably be looking at a Continental myself, instead of the narrower MKZ, if the parking spaces in my condo development were a little wider. The CT6 has not impressed me, for several reasons.

965 Continentals sold in March, which isn't great. Remember...that includes fleet sales, I bet fleet sales are as much as 85% of those sales. G80 for instance sold nearly 1,400 units, and no fleet absorption there. Cant say its dealers, G80 is sold out of Hyundai dealers same as Continental is sold at Ford. Ford has more dealers than Hyundai.
Hell...the Infiniti Q70 outsold the Continental in March, and the Continental only outsold the GS which has been putting up pathetic numbers by about 180 units.
CT6 sold 968, and also remember...no fleet presence as the fleet buyers at Cadillac buy the XTS.
Continental sales have declined every month since a December high, and March was their worst month except for the first month they went on sale, and that was a supply thing.
This car will be doing 500 monthly units by the end of the year and all of those basically will be fleet sales is my prediction.

Have not yet seen one in Los Angeles. Plenty of young drivers and buyers around here.
One problem I see with this thing is it's supposed to be a big, stately, luxury sedan- but it has a tiny, sloped, compact car trunk! Doesn't have the look of money, nor heritage back there.

Even if FL accounted for 5%-10% of all the Continentals sold at retail whatever the number is after fleet sales, it's a very small number of cars in a state of 20 million or so. Probably not a good trend at this point. No wonder you haven't seen any.

Like I said, Genesis can sell 1400 units out of Hyundai dealers, the issue is not dealers...the car just lacks retail appeal!

Unfortunately, It think this is the truth. The roll out was pitiful, damn thing was in the dealerships before any media promotion. Sorry, Lincoln, you are not Bentley or RR, its not built it and they will come. It is a decent to good product that will die on the vine because of who makes it and how poorly it was promoted. Strong work Lincoln!
