If there’s one thing that does wonders for an automobile brand it is the car history. For some people, it is inconceivable to buy any vehicle when it does not have a story behind it or an iconic feature. Such iconic features have been seen in the classic shape of the Porsche 911 and the tail light cluster of the Corvette.
To this table of iconic features, the Lincoln Continental brings its big body American style luxury. Once the epitome of luxury, the Continental almost kicked the bucket but the Ford owned brand has been given a new lease of life as seen by the concept unveiled at the New York International Auto Show.
Despite the exterior of the Continental being hailed as bland, when it comes to the interior the Lincoln lets loose and struts its stuff. The plush interior is done up in a rich blue color providing a regal attribute to the cabin. This is further accentuated by the polished metal inserts all through. Comfort comes to life in this car. There is a desk with an inbuilt tablet that offers entertainment, seat controls and contact to the outside through email. This is the perfect automobile for the new money mogul to be chauffeured in.
Considering the size of the Continental, it is rather surprising that the car is powered by a 3 liter V6 engine with EcoBoost twin turbo. If you identify car value through its Eco friendliness, then the Lincoln Continental does a pretty good job despite its size.
