,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints

the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:

The all-new Continental gains ground gracefully
By Professional Test Driver, NewCarTestDrive.com
The rather bland looking Lincoln Continental, although it is an extremely capable car, has to make an impression in a sea of cars that includes Acura, Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Infiniti and Lexus. It does succeed on some counts: For example, all of these other makes offer unique features but come nowhere near the electronic wizardry of the Continental. And even when you get past the bells and whistles, there is an excellent, quick, luxury sedan with a smooth ride and performance features that make it more entertaining than most. Best in class? Probably not. A much-improved vehicle? Most definitely. |
|
Overview:
|
After five years of yeoman service in a segment where Ford hadn't played previously - front- drive luxury cars - and five years of new Japanese competition, the Lincoln Continental has been jettisoned in favor of a new entry: a vehicle with a different worldview. The 6-cylinder giant economy car that was the Lincoln Continental has been replaced by an entirely new luxury automobile, one with the same moniker but a new transverse DOHC V8 engine, a new transaxle, a much trimmer body design, and a visually exciting and incredibly talented dashboard and instrument panel. Lincoln-Mercury product planners and marketing executives flatly state that their goal was to create the best front-drive luxury car in the world and, further, that the new Continental measures up to their goals. This is a pretty ambitious assertion. Even with the front-drive proviso, which limits direct comparisons with the superb Lexus LS 400, the Continental will still be measured against the more powerful Cadillac Seville and Seville STS, as well as the bigger Cadillac DeVille and Concours. So it's hard for us to endorse Lincoln's best-in-class position. But it's easy to call the new Continental better than the car it replaces. It's smoother, it's far more powerful and it offers a level of electronic sophistication that few luxury vehicles can match. Our model, with aluminum wheels and a 6-disc CD player located not in the trunk but in the console, had an estimated price of $42,125.
