Other interesting fact - Ford still owns the rights to the Continental name, and licenses usage of it to Bentley for their cars.
China is the focus right now, and the Chinese love big, comfortable sedans with large rear seats. Lincoln could never sell enough of these in the United States to merit the investment, so it needs to be designed with China in mind.
Might be closer to this than a lot of people think right now:

I always wondered how Bentley got away with using the name. Does that mean it will disappear after the Lincoln is released?Other interesting fact - Ford still owns the rights to the Continental name, and licenses usage of it to Bentley for their cars.

The problem with using the 2002 Continental Concept as a guide is that it may end up looking too much like the current Taurus:

MKR is WAY too sporty in styling for an executive sedan catering to Chinese tastes.
At the same time, it also won't be as bland and forgettable as the Genesis or RLX.
The original concept of the MKS was "E60 5-Series meets Lincoln", but it has clearly fallen flat with buyers in a rapidly declining American market.
You should definitely think more along these lines:
