That writer as well as many others when in the course of their writings refer to the Continental as being more readily identifiable as a Lincoln based on its American individuality. There is no question in my mind the overhangs on the Continental are minimal which I favor. I don't think I care for the console making its way through the entire interior.
 
The following link, while several years old, reviews the Continental concept as well as other Lincoln offerings of which Gerry McGovern was the design director if I'm not mistaken.

How sad neither the Continental concept nor Mark 9 could be brought to market. I would have mortgaged my soul to buy either one.

How about shedding a bit more light on a few things: Can you provide a little clearer timetable for the introduction of the Mark S and the "other" D3 sedan? How about approximate price ranges?
 
Speaking of the other D3 sedan - do you think we might see more Lincoln design cues (Continental like) than we see in the Mark S? How will the driving dynamics compare between the two D3 sedans?
 
Any other tidbits welcome!

It was my bday a few days ago, so I've had this perpetual vacation of a few weeks, connected since the holidays. And now it's past midnight and I'm painting my bedroom because I can't stand white walls.
 
Prices haven't been set in stone yet. Thats still quite some time away before being narrowed down to an aproximate range. Don't expected $55K+ prices either. The emphansize of american luxury is that it's affordable.
 
As for time, the same. At this stage everything is being narrowed down to time and suppliers, and what they are able to do, and most importantly, retrofitting the factory.

So I don't suppose there is any time left to make the MKS more distinctive?

The interior of this MKS looks sick, just as good as lexus etc from the photos anyway. But here's the rub: Will the actual production car get killed? Look at the Zephyr concept car and then look at what they actually produced. Lincoln messed up by not sticking 100% or as close as possible to the Zephyr concept car which was gorgeous.

I hope you meant the interior looks "slick" - not sick. Or is sick one of those words like "baad" that actually means good?
 
Production models rarely look as good as the concepts - Zephyr is a good example as you indicated. Most at the Detroit show said the Mark S looked production ready. ANT has hinted that it was 90 - 95% of the production version.
 
In view of the fact that few people are calling the concept drop-dead beautiful, I am not sure what they could do to hurt it. Different (wider or full-width) tail lights have been mentioned and would likely help the rear end treatment. Heyjewel was in a focus group for Lincoln so if we don't like the final version, we can blame him. hahahaha
 
Ford has learned a thing or two about doing nice interiors. I don't know about the thingy on top of the dash but otherwise, I am happy with the interior on the concept.

Pretty funny, Bruce :>)
 
This vehicle they're calling the Emm Kay Ess was not one of the 2 they asked my opinion of. Had it been there it would have finished 3rd.

Unfortunately, yes. "Sick" is the new "bad". I've heard Jr. use it on American Chopper and I still don't like it.
