Is Lincoln finally out of the shitter and starting to re-enter the legitimate luxury segment once more?

IS LINCOLN FINALLY NOT SHIT?
Rhetorical question, they haven't sucked since the new MKX and MKC

It looks like the Audi A8 and Jag XJ fucked.
I'm seeing some Saab 9-5 as well.
So I guess my prelude SH is "AWD" now too?
Fuck it, they'll never make a car as great as the town car ever again.
Genuine non-shitpost question here. Does it have Ecoboost?
The continental starts at 44 but trim levels go up to 60+
Is it a c class/3 series competitor? Is is an e class/ 5 series competitor?

Yes, an exclusive 3.0L Ecoboost.
The interior was way better in the prototype, what possessed them to make it this shitty?
>you can now buy European luxury cars with better drivetrain layouts and bigger engines than American luxury cars
Accountants. The retarded boomer market their aiming for.
>accountants are now in marketing
>their
It all makes sense now.
Holy shit! That is so bad to even look at. My neighbors are getting a Continental and I'm gonna say this to them.
The bentley man! How can you not see that?
do you suggest that fords window dressing is a veneer too thin
I have absolutely no idea why a person would choose that over a 5 series or an E-class. Have all the sales been to fleet and car services? What civilian would pass up a perfectly good E-class to buy what is basically a Ford? It doesn't add up.
Jesus. Imagine going from a Merc to that
Same reason people buy Buicks. It's a far more subdued luxury image that doesn't have negative owner stereotypes like MB/BMW/Cadillac/Lexus.
In a lot of American cities, the Germans in particular are immediately associated with the faux rich.
