Lincoln Continental

Hate the wheels, but it'll be interesting to see what the final production model looks like.

Maybe I'm really tired but I see some (new) Lagonda lines in that.

I'm not sure that's a good thing though.

Seriously. Go look at it from the rear 3/4. The rear glass is virtually identical and the boot lid isn't far off. I had to google the S class coupe when you posted since I couldn't remember and that awful Taurus was the first thing that came to mind when I saw it.

Definitely a lot closer to this. I don't see what you are referring to.

Anyone care to venture a guess at the sticker? Approaching 6 figures (7-Series, S-Class range)? Or no?

Looks like a Bentley "continental". Total ripoff.

I hope the power goes to the right wheels this time.

I think this is better than any sedan that Lincoln has right now, sadly. To bad Ford killed the LS that had potential.

Lincoln made it pretty clear its only a concept and it hints at what a future model can look like.

Now, the Lincoln Continental is back.

Thirteen years after the last Continental rolled off the assembly line, Ford Motor Co. is resurrecting its storied nameplate. The new Continental debuts in concept form at this week's New York auto show. The production version of the full-size sedan goes on sale next year.
Linky

I would think at this point they have some base sticker price in mind. And I'm only asking for guesses.

"If anything, the Continental concept is an effigy for that crisis of identity: It was built for the Chinese market first—Ford Motor Company president and CEO Mark Fields said “China” about 50 times in his brief speech to the press last night—even though Lincoln only entered the Chinese market last November.
It wears subtle, understated lines that draw more from the waistline of the beautiful but relatively obscure 1956 Continental Mark II than from the more iconic, more design-forward suicide-doored model introduced in 1961.
But perhaps most representative of Lincoln’s schizophrenia is the response to nearly every question regarding this car’s clearly enumerated production-intent status: “It’s a concept.” Or, stated more plainly, “It’s just a concept.”
Variations of this phrase were the sole response to questions about powertrain, pricing, features, and more. And these were the responses not of jaded communications reps, but of the executives, who moments before had emphasized that the Continental concept is, as I wrote several times in my notes, emphasizing their emphasis, a “very strong hint at a production car.”
Those executives included Fields, but more importantly Kumar Galhotra, Lincoln’s president as of last September, a position he holds alongside his title of Ford Motor Company vice president, and Lincoln’s design director David Woodhouse."

So someone at AP is engaging in wishful-thinking/hearing-what-he-wants-to-hear? That wouldn't surprise me, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

So *if* this car hits the assembly line sometime in the next few years, what's the guess as to sticker price? Seems like they're gunning for S-Class/7-Series status.

Seems like it'll be priced around the 7 Li and S class

No, that's not what Lincoln said. I think I'll listen to the CEO of Ford, Mark Fields:
Quote:
This is "a concept which for us signals the future of what we call quiet luxury," Ford Motor Company president and CEO, Mark Fields, said during an event Sunday. "The Concept is a very strong hint I'll underline very strong hint as to what you'll see in the production vehicle."

Ok.. Isn't the 2nd part of my sentence the same as what you made bold?
