[Lincoln Super News Ticker]

“Notice the doors,” the vintage advertisement for the Lincoln Continental began. “And notice how they open. From the center, to make everyone’s entrances graceful.”

Saw this in my news feed.

Awesome yes, but very...bold of Lincoln given the current Continental sales.

There has to be more to it to justify making it a 6 figure priced car. The cost puts it with competing with buying a Telsa, and artificial scarcity in production isn't always a win over. Sure, Jay Leno will probably add one to his collection. I hope this special platform is also a unique CD6 for this limited edition. Coach doors and more rear space should also include many features the upcoming Aviator is getting.

This also is a perfect way to bring a RWD based Continental along with the Grand Touring 3.0 Electro engine for high torque. THAT would be enticing to me to imagine a spacious Continental. If Lincoln does not, and make it this more expensive with outdated cutbacks (seriously no more 6 speed!), itll hurt great potential.

I love the look of this car. I am so glad it is back for 2020, after selling out in 48 hours for 2019 it would be nice if this was a standing option. Back in the day, way back, options like this were free standing and could be added on to the vehicle without influence from bean counters and data managers. Lincoln would make a bold statement to place this on their list of options.
