2018 Lincoln Continental

[Town]

Pasadena Lady raised the question of what changes will be made to the 2018 Lincoln Continental. I looked around on Google and all I could find were articles about the 2017 Continental that could be introduced as a 2018 model. Blueoval forums has Order Guides for various models, including the 2017 Continental (copy attached) and should have the Order Guide for the 2018 Continental in due course (already have the guide for other Lincoln 2018 models).

Does anyone have more info?

The BlueOval forum has published the 2018 Lincoln Continental Order guide today and it is attached. Does not appear to have many changes from the 2017 model, some colours are dropped and some added. Engines and transmissions are the same and the axle ratios per engine/trans combination are spelled out clearly. Headup display is included in the tech package, and that was added in later 2017 models. The Reserve model has apparently added the Revel 13 speaker radio to the standard features for 2018; but the Canadian models already have that feature standard on 2017 Reserve models.

Interesting the retail sales mix % expectations per model has been added: Premiere 10%, Premiere Livery 7%, Select 40%, Reserve 40%; which gives 97% so not sure where the remaining 3% will be allocated. Perhaps the 3% is for the Black Label model, so I added that guide too.
