 Lincoln Forums - Lincoln Continental
The 1980 Continental, as compared to its 1979 predecessor, was 800 lb lighter and 20 inches (508 mm) shorter in overall length, and was fitted with a 302 in³ (5.0 L) V8.
It was largely replaced in the Lincoln lineup by the Lincoln LS (introduced in 2000), even though the Continental was front wheel drive as opposed to the rear wheel drive layout on the Lincoln LS.
Lincoln would never market a middle-class luxury vehicle until the Lincoln LS (and its successor, the Lincoln MKS for 2007) was moved as a middle-class vehicle for 2006, since the Lincoln Zephyr became Lincoln's entry-level model, although front-wheel drive would return to the Lincoln lineup with the Zephyr.

 Ford - Lincoln Continental
Lincoln, at least until the launch of LS, still follows the old road.
The comment for Town Car and Continental is more or less the same - a lot of room and metal for money, reasonable performance considering its intention, reasonable handling considering its intention, reasonable ride quality considering its intention.

 Future Lincoln Continental RUMOURS - CarSpace Automotive Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
One rumour was that it will knock out the Town Car as Lincolns Flaship; another said it will be a combination of the Mark Series and will be offered in 2-,4- and convertible models; and still another claimed it will be an ultra-lux higher end V-8+, marketed as a sort of larger LS.
For example, if Lincoln wants to get out of the taxi business, jettisoning the Town Car and replacing it with a smaller Continental might be a good idea.
Lincoln is already in enough trouble with more people out buying Caddy CTS's besides there handsome LS (I saw 3 CTS's in a row, When I see an LS it stands out now, before I used to see em' all the time).

 So long, Lincoln Continental
Prized for its large size and imposing design, the Lincoln Continental reached the peak of its popularity in the early 1960s when the Lincoln name was removed and the car stood on its own merits.
The Continental's popularity waned quickly, however, and it was shelved from 1967 until 1981 when a four-door Continental sedan was introduced, a precursor to today's luxury model.
Even Frazier eventually opted for Lincoln's Towncar series instead of the Continental because he felt it was roomier and drove better.
