This means that the Continental will be more expensive than its competitors. Lincoln can also choose to price it competitively, but that means it will earn less money on each car. Not an easy choice. Price hasn’t been confirmed yet but will range from around 500.000 to 900.000 yuan ($75,000 – 135,000).

  1. The car will launch in the US with a 6-speed auto, though we know that the 9-speed is in the works. China becomes the debut market for the new
    trans, so lets hope it works well. Lincoln needs a good launch for this sedan.

  2. The Continental will be available for test drives at the Lincoln Experience Center in Newport Beach, CA. This weekend. San Diego dealer, Witt Lincoln, will have one available for demo on Labor Day weekend.
