It's no A6

I was looking at the Continental as a used car. My father always had Continentals and Town Cars growing up in the 70's, and when this new design came out I liked the look and direction it seemed to be heading in again...finally. After reading the reviews, I'm not too sure anymore. I'm coming from a C7 Audi A6 Quattro Prestige with the Supercharged 3.0 putting out 310 hp. I couldn't get over how everyone was overly impressed by the 3.0 TT in the Conti. The A6 has less power, but is somehow as fast if not faster (5.2 sec for me to 60), and all the while, and even over the past 50k+ miles it still averages 27 mpg in mixed driving, and on long stretches of highway, I've gotten up to 36 mpg...in a forced induction V6. The long term average is even higher in the summer months, so I'm sure I would aveage closer to 30 mpg lifetime if I lived in CA where this Conti was being driven instead of the NE. What hasn't Ford figured out yet? Get rid of the heavy steel body panels and go aluminum already. Still using a 6-speed? People have been using 8-speed transmissions since 2011 now. The Audi has better performance, much better fuel economy (550 miles to a fill up in the summer), and has a better quality interior, better materials, and better fit and finish. At the time it came in fully loaded for less than this Lincoln. I don't think the massaging seats would make me miss the A6 that aside from the parking assist, and a nicer audio system, has all the safety and convenience features of this. The A6 even has night vision. If it was 2012 and Lincoln came out with this, it would be impressive, but knowing what the others they were benchmarking themselves against had in production for years already (Lexus, MB, Audi, etc.), and their response was an all steel, heavy 6-speed with fancy seats, and an interior design that looks more like a stuffy, old money 2008 Jaguar, than a contemporary German luxury car or even a Lexus, is really out of touch. Something's never change..
