2017 Lincoln Continental Black Label Review - Legit Return To Luxury? 

This is the first car ever to look good in every colour

never though i would fall in love with American luxury car until recently.

Great review! I realize this color theme, exclusive to Black Label, is a bit polarizing. But I find it refreshing to see a modern version of the striking jewel tones we fell in love with in the '70s and '80s. Since the early '90s, it seems leather in hues of oatmeal were the only acceptable interiors in cars. I love the Rhapsody in Blue theme, and I think this is a car Lincoln desperately needs for its survival. Very well done, both car and review. It's wonderful to see the rebirth of a brand that never should have died. Long live Continental.

Damn this car is loaded. And exclusive.

Great review, It's a beautiful car. I really don't mind the interior color, I think it looks great. The interior has a personality to it, it doesn't look as boring as the CT6 interior ( that's just my opinion). I believe Lincoln has done a great job and will be back in the luxury game.

Looking back on all the reviews yours is phenomenal

Love your reviews, personally, I love the interior color on this thing! Completely agree about more personalization available too

A fantastic automobile. So happy to see Ford/Lincoln back in the quality business.

Wow Man ! Your reviews are worth watching.... Where have I been lost for this long ? 🤔

I just purchased the reserve 400 horsepower and I love it great video.new sub.

Nice review...you got a new subscriber. Love the Conti. It looks stunning in the Jade Green and that Magnetic gray as well. I would opt for the Reserve trim with the 3.0 and the rear tech and revel system and pano roof for about $65K and be fine...

Amazing review Amazing vehicle.I was just looking at one of these yesterday! I think ima purchase it.Great video.Thank You 👍 Greetings from Mexico

Good review. Thanks

I have watched a lot of the new Continental reviews and your persona and review was the best. Keep up the good work. You have gained a subscriber. My only dislike is the rear exterior which doesn't seem to match and flow with the front exterior. Somehow the exterior rear end light treatment needs more prominence. To each his own, but I happen to like the town cars of all generations, as I am a Lincoln aficionado. (Past owned Lincolns: 63 and 64 Continentals, 89 Town Car, 83 Mark VI 4 door Signature Series 4 door) Presently own an 89 Town Car. Each generation of Lincolns reflect the era in which they were designed to meet customers wants and expectations. For me they represent American luxury, without the gaudiness of a Cadillac.

a lot of these cars doing taxi out here in Chicago and they look gorgeous

Probably the best review channel on youtube

Learned my 17 continental has foot opening trunk from this video. Went and tried it. Yep ot works.

Love that chrome and available ashtrays for us Retro fanatics, but does it come in Purple?

Good video. I’m going to check you out more often. Have you ever reviewed a car that you liked and purchased it?

Thanks for your review of the new continental! I'm truly a Lincoln fan but I'm not a fan of the silver looking trim that comes with Rhapsody interior. I plan to purchase one in the near future in either Black Label Blue Rhapsody or Black Throughbred . I do have a question. How did you like the shifting of the six speed automatic transmission? I've looked at many reviews and many of them have said that the transmission is jumpy and somethings very hesitant. Thanks again, peace!

I want this Lincoln now...truly!

Chris. Nice review as always. Lol when when you said "Really" about the conti having rear ashtrays 😂. I'm with you on that one. I'm not totally sold on the package as a whole but, it a nice attempt from Lincoln. For a future review, Please snag that 2018 Camry XSE for review if you could. I love what Toyota has done with it.

I would like to see wheel well arch chrome liners to brighten up the wheel arches.

Great review.

Love the Blue interior!!!!!!.... Get Over It!!!!

Great review Autoacademics, like the car. It looks really good and kind of suit you Sir .

finally a test with the blue black label...nice review

I watched a few of your reviews and like how detailed you are. I could not find your review on the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. can you send me the link? Thanks.

Good review as always .. please review a 2017 Volvo XC90 Inscription please!

Great review, really like the style!!! I subscribed!!! Also, would you recommend this or the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E400 Sedan?

The blue interior looks better in pictures than in real life. I looked at one yesterday and the blue interior just screamed at me.

Love the blue interior!

Thanks

Another clean, concise and informative review from AutoAcademics. How would this compare to a CT6 ?

Thanks!

Rear seat ashtrays? Rich Chinese buyers will love it!

Hey man, what can you say why Lincoln discontinued Continental ? Because this vehicle is just perfect for Livery.

Lincoln should have never discounted there sedan lineup. These were way nicer then the suvs they are making, it would have been nice to see them with more personal choice options and wood reboot.

That's a beautiful Lincoln

The host is awesome. One issue with the car is that it only has 6 gears, im sure theyll change that in later years but 6 for this price is just lacking, it should atleast 8

Shiet right on Bruddda. Next review!

Is it me, or at 6:13 is the chrome trim on the rear window falling off this car?

Is it just me or does the SYNC 3 infotainment system look like the smoothest out there. Wayy smoother than the 17 S class I saw.

Great review!! It is great luxury car for most part. 2017 Lincoln continental has few flaws. They are it has two levers instead of one lever, it should look more like previous generations of continental, and it should have 10 speed automatic transmission.

Great review. I hate alcantara on seats, would have been better if it was just straight leather. I hate the texture of it, at least the steering wheel isn't covered with it like some cars. Also, my parents had a dark blue interior on their 1990 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight. Some things should stay in the past!

Wow congrats fix. The new Lincoln is going to resurrect the brand the new Navigator is turning escalade heads toward Lincoln good job.

Come on, the interior is pure luxury. Nice review.

Looks great to me...but 20 inch wheels? I would prefer 18 inch for more comfort. Good report 👍

Outside door handle on drives light don't work

Nice!!!

In white it is a handsome auto. Don't know if I like the blue.

Nice review! I'm a Cadillac XTS driver who is now definitely considering this car as my next vehicle. And BTW, to all the commenters who said you're yelling in this video, I disagree. You are clear, concise, and confident!

This takes me back to when cars from Detroit had unique style and didn't come off a cookie sheet. Highly impractical, but stylish

Great Review. I feel like this car is way over priced. Not sure how they can justify these prices.

That's luxury!

I must be the only person in the US who hates pano-roofs, just don't get it. I do like the B-pillar AC vents, nice touch.

Truly an American luxury cruiser..... Good job Lincoln....

Lincoln navigator index 👍

I love this car, but would choose black leather interior.

Wish we have it in Europe 😞

Love my #LincolnContinental

Great review and video but I am not a fan of the Continental as hard as I try. Not for that price but I can see how far they have come from the Town Car. The door handles are cool and I like the front end treatment but for some reason everything else about the car fails to impress. For what it's worth I love the Cadillac CT6 even though it too isn't my dream car when it comes down to signing on the dotted line.

The Curb Weight of that Car is 4523 Pounds they need to trim it Down to 3000 Pounds and with that comes less fuel and less maintenance .

Mercedes Maytag- for those who can't afford Rolls or Bentley

4:16 LMAOOO

Can you do a review 2017 Lincoln Mkz

The black label doenst stand out enough from the standard package to justify the orice difference. Just wait 2 years these will be under $27K used with 60K miles or less on them

The black label doenst stand out enough from the standard package to justify the price difference. Just wait 2 years these will be under $30K used with 60K miles or less on them.

Can't do the seats that look like suede. Yuk.

Looks like he is rapping 😂😂 great work ✌️✌️

It's too late now. I would not buy one now in 2020 as I understand this is the last year they'll be produced. I think that's a mistake on Lincoln's part, they need to have a flagship sedan (Not just SUVs) as all the other premier car makers in the world have.

lol..."relegated to yes sir responses"

I would never start and rev so fast. Wtf

I just wished that Lincoln would have put center-opening doors (suicide doors) on the Continental. If that had been the case it would be one in my driveway right now.

should have included suicide doors

i loved you in fresh prince

Why are you yelling?

Ford has to know their target market grew up with muscle cars. start installing the Shelby engine in the black label and i'll buy.

Nice 70's porn music in the background... boom-chicka-wow-wow.

The Joker seemed to have designed that interior. Ugly stuff. Cool car otherwise and very good video 📹

Lincoln low it with the demise of the Towncar. I don't waste my time looking at Lincolns anymore.

almost 80k for a Ford sedan.....that's crazy!! ...I'd forget the interior and exterior both at the same time...lol...

77 Large? It's a Ford Fusion at heart.......

what I really like about it is that a African American designed that new Continental body shape for the car and SUV.

This looks like the Hyundai Azura 🥴😂😂

Wayyyyy over priced

unfortunately it falls behind in build quality material quality and luxury features compared to the likes of the new Lexus LS and the Cadillac ct-6 but it does give the Buick LaCrosse a run for its money

"Tons of chrome".. yeah chromed Chinese plastic

Man you mad niggaish...subscribed.

Waste, Garbage, Rubbish, Trash is just putting it lightly when it comes to this CAR???? One hit wonder! (this just my opinion) based with fact.

This car is so blah on the streets when you see it and looks like any other Toyota Avalon.

What a corn puff and no not the car

Nope Just a dressed up, overpriced Taurus

6 speed auto in this price class ain't gonna cut it.
