Top tech cars at the 2015 New York Auto Show - ExtremeTech
Lincoln and Cadillac used this week’s New York International Auto Show to renew their big-car rivalry, while other automakers unveiled a slew of midsize and compact sedans. Lexus showed the next version of its best seller, and sagging Mitsubishi sought to revive its US fortunes with a midsize crossover. For Lincoln, the 2016 Lincoln Continental concept is an opportunity to move upmarket and potentially challenge the world’s best, if the driving dynamics are there. The full-size Cadillac CT6 is a full-on performance-and-technology assault on Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz as well as Lincoln. This is the last of the year’s major auto shows that run from November (LA) through Detroit (January), Chicago (February), and New York (March-April). Answer: LA, New York, and the Consumer Electronics Show (CES for impact if not buyer traffic) are essentially on par with Detroit now. 2016 Lincoln Continental: Designed for the US and Chinese buyer The Chinese market is big and getting bigger. So it’s resurrecting the Lincoln Continental name that had been in cryogenic storage since 2002. When the Continental ships in 2016, it will sit at the top of the Lincoln line, either replacing or marketed above the full-size Lincoln MKS. Source: www.extremetech.com
