Reviews SummaryLincoln was a legend. The Continental, which carried enormous V12 engines in the ‘40s and several U.S. presidents in the ‘60s and ‘70s, was a masterpiece. Today, Lincoln is lucky to be in business after years of cost-cutting and intense foreign competition. But today, there are new Lincolns like the 2017 Continental, which alongside the Navigator SUV is the brand’s most critical—and possibly its last—chance at success. | |
Reviews SummaryThe all-new BMW 7 Series masterfully blends comfort, luxury, and performance, but the new styling has limited appeal and the technology interface can be a source of frustration. There are a lot of cool-looking new features, but some come with significant compromises. | |
