The Lincoln Continental, a full-size luxury sedan produced by Ford Motor Company, enjoyed a resurgence in popularity during its 1998 to 2002 model years. This generation marked a departure from the Continental's traditional rear-wheel-drive design, adopting a front-wheel-drive platform shared with the Ford Taurus. This change allowed for a more spacious and comfortable interior while offering a more affordable price point. Despite sharing its platform with a mainstream model, the Continental retained its luxurious image through its distinctive styling, premium materials, and extensive feature list. The exterior featured a large, imposing grille with a prominent Lincoln emblem and elegant lines conveying both luxury and status. Inside, the Continental offered plush leather seating, wood trim, and ample passenger space. It came equipped with a range of amenities including automatic climate control, power seats, and a premium sound system. The standard engine was a 3.0-liter V6 producing 200 horsepower, while a more powerful 4.6-liter V8 with 260 horsepower was also available. The Continental was praised for its comfortable ride, quiet cabin, and smooth handling, though some criticized its lack of performance compared to its German rivals. Despite its success, the Continental was discontinued in 2002, marking the end of an iconic nameplate.
