Return of the Continental

In reply to Tom_Spangler:

Meh. They're both big sleek fancy sedans. I like the Lincoln concept better than then Bentley

I pointed out the Bentley resemblance first ! Do I win something? Some free swag maybe? Huh?

In reply to Toyman01:I agree, it probably will depreciate very quickly.

I like the comment about only doing that in China.

That view somehow reminds me of the Town Car.

I can understand the Bentley confusion.

Ford is in detroit.

Most Bentleys in Detroit look like this:

Ford probably thought they had an all new design on their hands.

Am I the only one who doesn't like it? Maybe the less "concepty" production version will be better, but I'm just not digging it.

Oh, and the rear-view reminds me of the last SAAB 9-5, but not as handsome.

Do you want us to send the product tooling? That’s what Bentley designer Luc Donckerwolke posted on Lincoln designer David Woodhouse’s Facebook page, a comment that was swiftly deleted but captured by the excellent Car Design News. Let me tell you, Bentley went off on Lincoln. Donckerwolke also posted on his own Facebook calling out the 2016 Lincoln Continental as a ripoff. “I would have called it a Flying Spur concept and kept the four round lights.” Another designer commented “I thought this was only done in China? Finally a ‘Bentley for the masses’ though...”

I gotta say, he has a point.

Consider it a nod to Lincoln's high times, when America didn't steal, we liberated.
