'Cause I don't think the Continental Concept is very good looking.

I like Lincolns current design language they're using on their production cars, but that thing just doesn't sit well with me. I can't pinpoint exactly what's making me feel that way about it, but I do.

The headlight/grille combo does have a bit of a Jaguar vibe to it. That's nice.

looks better than Lincoln's current lineup

I think it's much better looking than current lincolns, but still seems very rough around the edges.

Then again, this seems more like a concept that will be 'softened' to become an actual car rather than a pretty-looking beautiful concept that will never be made into a production vehicle. And because of that, I think it's just right.

I think my main issue with it is the front end. Really, just the headlights. I think it would look better if they had one mostly horizontal lighting element instead of the five little Lincoln logos, but I can see why they would shy away from that as it would bear a strong resemblance to Audi's designs.

It looks a tad bit too much like a Chrysler 300 to me.

To me, it's a bit too Bentley-esque. However, considering the slump Lincoln has recently been in, it's a fantastic effort.

I like everything but the face, and even that is tolerable.

I can't say I'm blown away either, but I don't think I'm their target demographic. I'll have to give my grandparents a call tonight. Still moving in the right direction, I haven't seen it in person so not sure if that will be more appealing, and I do like it better than anything in their current lineup. It does feel like a "safe" design, not too daring, but who can blame them?

Also I hope this kicks off a Lincoln/Cadillac classic American luxury showdown because that is more interesting (IMHO) than the entry- and mid-level stuff coming out of Germany.

I like it, but the front reminds me of the Equus.

Correct.

I don't like most of their current line. It just goes bling without any class. The only thing this car needs more of is waterfall grille. Aside from that and the overdone wheels, it looks good. They should produce it with a longitudinal engine, RWD/AWD, and at least the 365hp EcoBoost.

I don't like it very much at all.

Looks like a car from GTAV, but somehow I love it.
