THE NEW LINCOLN CONTINENTAL CONCEPT: “Take a Ford Taurus, rub it sparingly with the sad ham of luxury appliqué, and you get the Lincoln MKS. In fact, there may not have been a car more cynical in Ford’s repertoire since post-Malaise downsizing of the 1980s. Finally, Lincoln has decided to erase this blight upon its name, and if the new Continental concept car isn’t the blocky, presidential pomp machine the fashionably tattooed were hoping for, it’s certainly a step away from the baleen-waterfall-stache visual grammar Lincoln has been selling of late.” Okay, that’s not the highest praise. But it’s not bad looking, though this fake Lincoln is prettier.
