BORG Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) About what was expected, I was expecting closer to $80K with Black Label which sounds about right here. That's a good $5 to $10K Lower than CT6 across the pricing range. Edited April 13, 2016 by BORG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordmantpw Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) And still no order guide.... I thought it was posted in another thread? EDIT: Nope, just saying it's available to order at Lincoln dealers: http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/61268-2017-lincoln-continental-order-banks-open/&do=findComment&comment=974271 Edited April 13, 2016 by fordmantpw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 So much for the "it will start at $50K" predictions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Not that bad...even know I'm not part of that market or even want a car like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Ding ding ding ding! $45995....would be my guess....with the obligatory $10-13k in options, loaded just under $59.... Ok this makes more sense... 3.7 V6 instead of 2.3 EB as base engine. Base engine (probably less than 5% retail mix) - 3.7 V6 ~$45k starting MSRP Main engine (probably 60~70% of retail mix) - 2.7 EB ~$50k FWD / ~$55k AWD Top engine (probably 25~35% of retail mix) - 3.0 EB ~ $60k AWD Black label will probably be restricted to 3.0 EB ~$65k starting MSRP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Retail for a very well equipped (although not every option) Reserve series with the 3.0 is in the mid 60s. The order guide and pricing is available. My dealer said they could not order the 3.0 yet so I didn't placed my order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'm starting to get the impression that the 3.0/Black label are "late availability" items. I'll see if I can get an answer out of someone about it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) I actually got to check out a Continental Black Label (Thoroughbred) today at the Ford Garage and took some pictures, but I don't think I should share them since Ford Employees are involved. I got to see the engine bay for the first time with the 3.0L EB. It's an incredible car for sure, great presence and refinement throughout. It's still not something I would personally go for but it's extremely appropriate for the Lincoln brand.

jcartwright99 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Do we know if it will be getting a drivers package like the MKZ, utilizing the AWD system in the Focus RS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yes, the 3.0L is Late 2016 Availability for MKZ so assume the same for Continental. I thought that was only because they wanted it out in the Continental first. Could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 A summer tire package is available and the 3.0 equipped models all have the torque vectoring awd system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fgts Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) More info; http://www.autoblog.com/2016/04/13/lincoln-continental-pricing-official/ 2.7 EB is available for over the n/a 3.7 $50k, base price for the EB 3.0 is $63,480 without awd. AWD is $2k on any engine. Estimated price for a fully loaded Continental is a not-so-cheap $82,000 from Autoblog.

BORG Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) $82K is right on the money, exactly what I was predicting for top-tier. The MKX goes up to $70K with Black Label after all and the Continental is way more car. Edited April 13, 2016 by BORG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 A Reserve AWD starts at $55,915. The 3.0 is $3,265 so you can be under $60 for a nicely equipped car with the top engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 want to see one in black.....even in white it looks great....and cudos Ford...not sure anyone is familiar with revel, but there audio speakers are world class......awesome.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I am torn between the white and the burgundy. Curious about the white palladium gold, too. I am slightly shocked at the $5000 price for the luxury package. It just includes LED lights and the top Revel system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks awesome in silver too. I'd take a pic of the one on the line right now if it weren't for the 30 engineers hovering around I. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzcat Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) I'm surprised that I nailed the prices almost exactly [pats myself on the back...] Premiere only comes with 3.7 V6 so it's obvious that one is going to be really limited in retail inventory. I think the sweet spot is going to be right around $55k, which is Select with 2.7 EB and some options. Also, looks like 3.0 EB is available only on Reserve AWD (and Black Label I guess).

I have the 12 speaker Revel system in the MKX and it is fantastic. I volunteered to drive 12 miles to get takeout just to listen to it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I was at Barrett Jackson in Palm Beach Sunday and they had one of these displayed. I was impressed by the overall look and interior looked very good. What was more impressive was the people the vehicle attracted. This is a pretty affluent crowd and there must of been around a dozen or so people checking it out. I chatted with one mature gentleman and you could tell he really liked it. BTW...also saw a GT there and that was special but not as exciting as the old Lincoln's and Mercury's that were going up for auction. Pricing is not surprising-though I wish Ford would do away with all of this option package 201A crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
