This is one VERY nice looking concept. This is a timeless design that can only help Lincoln.

Impressive concept, OutaFocus . . . definitely like the Suicide Doors.

Looks straight out of 2002, probably because it is.

2002 Lincoln Continental concept should've made production, headed for auction instead

Impressive for 2002 for a concept car that would obviously never make production. But yeah, for a 2016, it's 14 years later. The cheap chrome job that looked bad in 2002 just looks horrible in 2015.

Never gonna happen. As much as we all want it to.

Lincoln is going to continue to lose itself chasing Acura and BMW with warmed-over Fords.

There is only one REAL Lincoln sold today, the Navigator. Even then, it's hard to find a reason to buy one over an Expedition King Platinum Ranch.

Don't expect many people to buy it if the price tag is 100k or more. Should be priced at 55-75k if they want to create some sales. Doubt the suicide doors make it to production.

My guess is this will never be made or simply be butchered to the point where it's not worth the purchase.

Safe bet considering it's had well over a decade to make it to production.

First thought I had was 'no way this is a 2015 concept,' it actually thought late 90s. It reminded me of production early 2000s Infiniti M45s, which had that awkward half boxy, half rounded shape.

Lincoln feel off after the mid 90s.

I recognized the concept from 2002. It's preferable to what Lincoln is actually making now, might even sell well.
