Lincoln Continental Concept Leaked
A slip up by Lincoln suggests that the brand is bringing back the Continental.
A link to a website shell was found by Jalopnik that describes the upcoming Continental Concept. The unfinished site also has a section for upcoming cars, under which is listed the 2017 Continental, suggesting that the car will be going all the way to production.

There is one small bit of information posted on the site regarding the new car. “Enter what’s next through e-latch door handles to find seats that don’t just embrace you body, but massage it.”
The new Continental may be the replacement for the Lincoln MKS that is slated to ride on a stretched version of the MKZ platform, which would imply that it would be front-wheel drive based. There is also the possibility that the Continental will act as a halo car for the brand, competing with the new Cadillac CT6.

There is a new RWD platform rumored to be on the way. Hopefully this will be the first model built on that platform. Lincoln needs a legitimate flagship, and a Fusion-based MKS doesn't qualify.
Another whale car? I hope that is not the real grill or they are in for another sales drop.
