Bleak.

Bigger eggs are more expensive, more '''imposing''' and have more room for bigger screens inside

>>28461216 (OP)
what shape is it supposed to be? they've looked like that for 30 years

>>28461232
it looks like a horse

try being eggscited

grim

>>28461216 (OP)
More like everything is a pig. It's all so fucking sad.

>>28461216 (OP)
Why the fuck can they make these giant vehicles with giant square hoods their driver's cant even see over.
Yet they can't make pop up headlights? Not even for luxury cars.

>>28461644
>pop up headlights
you're not on reddit, go back

>>28461220
Can they make cars that look like this anymore? Or regulations and shiets will prevent them?

One egg for each segment. Their sedans flop miserably. The eggs do fine.
It's a business.

I work as a chauffer part time and I can tell you these Lincolns are mammoth pieces of shit rendered basically unusable by their constant need for software updates. The Navigator is OK in terms of build quality, the rest are dogshit. You can pull apart the interior of the Aviator or Corsair with your hands if you wanted to. Have not touch a Nautilus, I don’t even quite understand why it exists.

>>28461227
Damn.
Imagine the mobile gooning cave you could build with this thing as the starting point… just need more …. Screeeennnzzz..ughhhh!!!! Fack imgunna cummm!!!!!!

>>28461911
The later, it is specially impossible to make a car with body pannels that thin and defined because all cars have to have a giga-reinforced chassis and rollcage hidden underneath which makes cars look fatter, on top of a lot more shit and nanies having to be fit underneath and in the engine bay.
Airbags are one of the key suspects here since they take up far more space in the sides, they make the pillars grow thicker and the doors chunkier.

>make front wheel drive v6 "flagship"
>price it near 100k
>"WHY does no one buy lincoln sedans?"

>>28462041
The fuck are you even talking about? What FWD V6 flagship sedan did Lincoln ever make that was anywhere near 100k?

>>28462059
Continental, dummy.

>>28462041
And yet their FWD v6 $100k crossovers do fine...

>>28462085
The most expensive possible configuration of Continental was 70k, dummy.

>>28462137
ok if you say so

>>28462143
Read your own links, dummy. The Coach Edition wasn't made by Lincoln, dummy. It was made by Cabot Coach Builders, dummy. You wouldn't say the 911 was a million dollar car just because Singer makes a million dollar version, dummy. Plus that's a stupid example anyway because that was a limited edition car and they sold out of them, dummy.

>>28462137
>70k starting for a rebadged Fusion
Absolutely fucking disgusting. Lincoln has done nothing but rebadge Expeditions and Explorers for the last 20 years. It needs to die.

>>28462163
You're thinking of the MKZ. The Continental is a Taurus. The MKZ topped out around upper 30s. The Continental was an entirely different beast.

>>28462157
it was an option that you purchased at a lincoln dealership and partnered with lincoln. You had to buy a Black Label and then they send it to Cabot Coach Builders. The very first lincoln continental was built by a coach builder in 1939 and commissioned by Edsel Ford. Using Singer for Porsche is a false equivalency. On Singers OWN website, they state
>"Singer is not sponsored, associated, approved, endorsed nor, in any way, affiliated with Porsche Cars North America, Inc., or Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche, AG. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG is the owner of numerous trademarks, both registered and unregistered, including, without limitation, the Porsche Crest®, Porsche®, and the model numbers and names and the distinctive shapes of the Porsche automobiles, such as the federally registered 911 automobile. Any mention of Porsche Cars North America, Inc., or Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche, AG. trademarked names or other marks is for purpose of reference only"
limited editions do count because you said there was no higher option than Black Label and clearly there was.

both of these links show that you had to order through a Lincoln Dealer and any repairs were done by a Lincoln Dealer that had a certified technician for Cabot Coach

>>28461216 (OP)
Aviators are great though.

>>28462180
So by your logic the new mustang is a $170k car because Shelby sells the new Super Snake for that much. Never mind that 99% of Mustangs sell for 35-45k. Because one partnered 3rd party sells an expensive version that means all of them cost as much as the most possible version of them.

>>28462098
The Aviator and Navigator are RWD platforms.

>Can they make cars that look like this anymore? Or regulations and shiets will prevent them?


Theres literally a car on the market with the same 1960s aesthetics applied in a modern form

>>28462188
I'm not saying that at all. You said there was no option higher than 70k. This was a buyable option at a Lincoln dealer for 116k. You're making this way more serious than it is and hyperbole doesn't make you less wrong.

>>28462167
Only China got that generation Taurus. It's a stretched Fusion to anyone but actual Lincoln autists.

>>28462198
And you said that Lincoln priced the Continental at 100k. They didn't. Cabot Coach Builders did.

>>28462199
>It's a stretched Fusion to anyone but actual Lincoln autists.
It shares literally zero parts with a fusion.

>>28462183
Yeah I was gonna say Aviator looks kinda good, the others are all shit

>>28462192
>Theres literally a car on the market
anon... I'm so sorry to tell you this

>>28461220
I think the Continental was discontinued because it simply wasn't selling anywhere near what the eggUVs were. Lincoln is in big trouble though, 4 amorphous SUVs and the brand is always a small corner at a Ford dealership. Theres nothing exciting or luxurious about Lincoln anymore which is really unfortunate.

The coolest car to ever be sold at a Lincoln dealership

>>28462545
2024 was Lincoln's best year since 2007. The market share is nothing compared to Lexus or BMW but they're not terribly far behind Cadillac

>>28462599
Dang, really? I see far more Cadillacs on the road than I see Lincolns, new or even old ones. Every time I do see a Lincoln its rather notable for how "rare" they are to me. Also because its sometimes hard to tell even what the fuck it is.

>>28462167
Fully loaded MKZs topped out in the $60k's and were great sleepers. 400hp twin turbo V6, AWD, rear LSD from the Focus RS.

>>28462419
>implying you can afford a new chally
you can get a used one piss easy and even the lame new EV ones still have a retro-inspired body and they're getting the v8 back supposedly

>>28461216 (OP)
I actually like the navigator but the other 3 should not exist

>>28462017
Did any of that help? Did people die a lot more before those regulations were put in place?

>>28461216 (OP)
The Escalade isn't. It's a brick and it's based.

>>28462615
They and the jag eggovers look alike kek

The biggest improvements in safety were making the a-pillar vaguely structural, adding a seatbelt, and then getting people to wear the damn seatbelts

The relative risk of death in a car crash compared to a car from 1980-84, European sample.

>>28464126
and now we have more distracted and stupidndrivers than ever. whether it's simply due to just having even more people on the roads now or the safety nannies giving stupid people a second chance remains to be seen but definitely feels like the latter given how some people quite literally expect the car to save them from themselves
