Is Lincoln's design rebirth built on the back on Bentley? Bentley's designers seem to think so. And not because the show car is called Continental.
Frankly, I think these whiners at Bentley are exaggerating. This latest Lincoln's styling is nowhere near as Bentley-esque as the last Chrysler Imperial concept 9 years ago.

The Chrysler Imperial looks more Rolls-Royce-esque than Bentley-esque

There are a fair number of similarities, though, between RR and Bentley. The point was that, IMO, the Bentley people are exaggerating.........I don't think the new Continental is as much of a Bentley ripoff as they infer.

All it needs is a vinyl landau roof, coach windows, opera lights and it's ready to go!

You forgot the tires with white/gold stripes, a classic hood ornament, and, of course, the Grey Poupon.

Cool! I really wish Lincoln the best with this. I'd like to see another Lincoln Continental on the road.

hate the buttons for gears - the D and P button areas are going to be covered in finger prints.

There is no comparison. Interior already looks 100x better than the outgoing MKS. Nice thick steering wheel, presumably upgraded materials, switchware, stitching etc..
