A Lincoln Continental should be, ideally, a huge, floaty, luxurious and, above all else, threateningly and stylishly imposing way of not driving, but arriving. Because of this, the Chrysler 300 is, as it has been for two generations, still the best current Lincoln Continental.

Seriously, Ford. All you had to do is give it a giant chrome grille and show it in black.

If I were a regular bad dude and not a supervillain, a 300 would be how I roll up (if I had to drive a sedan).

Sedans are important when it comes to villainy, since more doors=easier unloading of goons.

Unless you don’t roll with goons. Then you either go for a blacked-out muscle car or a Jaaaaaag F-Type.

That implies you travel by motorcade, and use the Jag as your personal car, while your goons/mooks/henchmen are riding in the sedans that accompany you.

Seriously, a villian is nothing without his underlings.

I was thinking more head henchman like Oddjob or somesuch. If I was a supervillain, I’d ride in an XJ. Fully armoured, supercharged, the whole shebang.

It’s interesting how people talk about villain cars on here more often than hero cars.
