For some time the www.carshowroom.com.au team has lobbied Ford that there is a role for its premium Lincoln brand in Australia.
We’re thinking a premium replacement for the Fairlane model especially for the limousine market but even the luxury SUVs like the Lincoln Navigator appear to be ripe for Australian buyers.
Now in New York, Lincoln has brought its famous ‘Continental’ nameplate back in the form of this handsomely-styled premium sedan concept car.
Unveiling the new model, Ford boss mark Fields was up-front when he said: “The concept is a very strong hint, I’ll underline ‘very strong hint’ as to what you’ll see in the production vehicle.”
That’s good news because this version of the fabled Lincoln Continental is hip and contemporary and is powered by a fuel-sipping EcoBoost 3.0-litre V6 engine.
In North America the revived Continental will give Lincoln traction in a market dominated by Cadillac, Lexus and the Germans.
C’mon Ford let’s get Lincoln ‘Downunder’ ASAP.
