I have a 2017 Reserve with all the black label options. I say this is the best car I have ever owned. and I've owned MB, Lexus, Volvo, Cadillac and even other Lincolns. This car has the twin turbo 2. 7 and it has really good pick-up, 0-60mph in approx 5. 5 sec. More options than I know what to do with, yet. I find i do use them and love having them. The things this reviewer didn't talk about was the 30 way adjustable seats. yes, he showed some of the adjustments, but the seats are amazingly comfortable once you get it JUST right. Alson, the My Lincoln feature. I can find my car with it. I can start my car with it from deep inside the building I work at. As long as the car is within a cell tower and I have a wifi or cell signal, I can start it or lock/unlock it from anywhere in the world. He also didn't show you how when you are in the back seats, that the Right Rear seat can even move the Right Front seat up, to give the rear passenger more room. It also has both rear seats that recline. My version has REAR seats with heated/cooled/massaging seats This car is elegant looking, has nice performance and a great ride. It is a mixture of plush and sporty, leaning more toward plush. I love it

No V8 or a V12 option on a luxury car? Brightness setting doesn't work. No emergency lever in the back to open the back doors if the car battery dies, forcing the rear occupants of the vehicle to to squeeze themselves through the front. Plastic buttons. No refrigerator. Smudges and scratches (both on the exterior AND on the interior) on a brand new car. No complex crisscross stitching on a luxury sedan level? Who are Lincoln competing against, exactly? Hyundai Genesis? KIA K900? Really? Is that where we are now? That's where it is right now for American car makers? No competition against the Germans, British, Swedes, Japanese?

Lincoln is so damn underrated. I'm not a big fan of Ford small/SUV cars, but there are models from them that are bargain for what they offer, the V8 Mustang and Lincoln cars, especially the Continental. It has easily the best looking headlights and fog lights in the entire car industry, it's very luxurious and comfy, it looks good. For this amount of money you'd pay 100k for a similar optioned E class or something. It's such a shame they don't want to bring Lincoln to Europe, they would smack luxury brands hard in the face with these cars at these prices.

The reason Lincolns are a hard sell is because they emboss the ownership of taking majority share from the luxuries of apartment renters. You're basically the house worshipped by new age apartment renters with some share in the same dream. Everyone wants one, if you want to increase sales there's always the bar experiment. It asks: Does the car by itself produce the value and money you're suppose to have prior to buying it? The State of Texas might sacrifice enough people to prove (these bar people) right in their inclinations of inversion.

Finally Lincoln has given up on trying to compete with the Europeans and their sports sedan. Lincoln (and Caddy) should be more like a boat than a rocket ship - that's what the people who buy these things want when they are driving to their golf club for brunch. And I like that they brought back the Continental name - I have hated all that AT4, CTS, CVS crap names that don't mean anything to anyone (and obviously I don't know a Caddy from a Lincoln with those names. Give me a Coupe de Ville or Continental label any time.

I was given this vehicle as a loaner. drove it for a week. 6 cylinder turbo just doesn't cut. put for adults in it and you'll see. it's luxury and it has more bells and whistles that i will never use. when sitting to drive of course you adjust the seat the problem is getting out. to mee the car is to low it kinda feels like you're trying to get out a beach chair. I would never pay that kinda of money for 70k plus I don't think so

The big downside of Lincoln is depreciation. I just saw a certified used 2018 Continental (lesser model than Black Label) with 27K miles on it for 31K. My mother had a 1995 Town Car that she bought certified used in 1997 for half the original sticker price. Were I to buy a Continental, I would go certified used. Big Lincoln sedans are great - like living rooms on wheels.

My Dad just bought an '18 Continental, Reserve trim with 2. 7L V-6 AWD. Although factory rated at 335 HP, I think this engine is underated like so many Fords from the past. This is an excellent torquey engine that moves this 4500 LB sedan with ease. Build quality is exceptional, just a really nice car, and he got it for 16K less than MSRP. Really nice Ford Car

Yes, I love my new Lincoln Magnificent automobile. I'm so glad Lincoln has brought back traditional American luxury. I would have loved center opening doors though. I've been a long time Cadillac fan, but moved to Mercedes and Jaguar. also Bentley & Rolls, but very very satisfied with Lincoln smooth ride and comfort & quality and dependibility- Greg in California

I have a newfound appreciation for Lincoln. They brought back the Continental, a car that had a long heritage with the company compared to Cadillac who ditched their heritage cars like the Fleetwood, Eldorado, or the Deville in favor of letter coded cars Am I the only one who thinks the CT6 should have been called the Deville or the Fleetwood?
