    Default 2015 Lincoln Continental Concept

    Looks pretty nice. Wheels a little too big on it though. How about using the suicide doors? Story & pictures here:

    Those wheels are horrible! Looks better from the rear than the front. Dash looks challenging and confusing. The pics may be a disservice to the car. Having just bought a Ford Explorer and being impressed with the looks, features and build, I have renewed confidence in Ford doing it right. I'll hold off final judgment on this "continental" till I see it for real.

    As a concept, I think it's an idea of what's to come. I suppose you'll see elements here & there that may or may not be on the production car.

    I think it's beautiful but I would definitely hope for realistic wheels. I doubt the chrome on the dash and the individual back seats will make it to production either.

    I hope the production version is half as exciting as the concept because if it is, I will be returning to the Lincoln brand for the first time since 1999. I sure hope they get it right.

    I've enjoyed Continental's unique styling over the years. You never had to look for an emblem to tell that it was a Continental. In an era where, with few exceptions, all the cars looks the same, I don't think this is an exception.

    You've all seen the commercials, "It doesn't look like a Buick!". They're right, it doesn't look like a Buick, it look likes all the other cars.

    Same here! This, to me, doesn't look like a Continental!

    I do like the exterior chrome treatment. That's generally gone from cars these days. I understand this car is supposed to target more for the China market. You guys think it looks like a Bentley?

    It is a copy of a copy of a Bentley. They could have done better. I do like the rear, though.

    Front looks like gussied up Ford Fusion. Rear big Audi sport sedan from about 5 years ago. Interior would be interesting to be chauffeur driven in I think.
