    Really it looks like a lookalike copy of a Bentley "Continental" Flying Spur

    A bad copy at that. The louvre shapes in the headlights are ugly and the grille looks like it's set back by 3 miles. It doesn't look consistent at all.

    It should cost less than $50,000 compared to the $200,000 Bentley.

    It also should have fucking suicide doors. SUICIDE DOORS ARE COOL.

    And in that $150,000 you save, you also lose a lot of quality. Ford are a good manufacturer, but they just don't do luxury.

    It's apparently confirmed that it has conventional doors.

    Fuck. Why no suicide doors. Rolls does it. Why not a harking back to the original hurt?

    I do not like it. I think it is somewhat ugly actually.

    Should also clarify that I'm not a particular fan of the original bentley continental GT that this is clearly ripped from either.

    I don't really like it. The overall proportions are weird and the wheels just look stupid. Way too big.
    The interior is pretty cool, albeit way over the top. 30 way power seats.
    I bet that thing's a maintenance nightmare.

    ohmylord. These are made by a company in Sweden called Solstad, they make pickup trucks from Saabs mainly.

    At first I didn't really like the new Lincoln Continental concept but it's really growing on me.
    It's all so over the top luxurious. Especially the interior. It's innovative and new.
    Must weight a ton though.

    More like about 3.5

    huehuehuehue

    Anyway, I like the new Continental, it's really different for Lincoln. It's nice to see a front end that isn't their usual ugly wing... Thing. But, alas, I've said it once, I'll say it again; No suicide doors, no Continental. This should really be the Mark IX (9).

    Way nicer cars to spend a quarter of a million dollars on.

    I've always like the front end of the 02 and 03 Galant. It looks mean.

    That's pretty much its only redeeming attribute.

    Actually I have just found out that they were sold in North America as the "Mitsubishi Diamante" but were still built in Australia.
