1994 Lincoln Continental Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The EPA rating is 18 m.p.g. city/26 highway. A digital fuel gauge informs you how many gallons are left in the tank. Ride leans toward soft and cushy but not sloppy. Computer-controlled air suspension with adaptive ride control keeps the car body level when the road surface isn't or when you load the trunk with two weeks' worth of vacation luggage. There also are front and rear stabilizer bars. Handling is good, thanks in large part to speed-sensitive power steering, which eliminates any weighty feel in the wheel. But we expect Ford will have had sufficient time by 1995 to analyze the... |

2012 bentley continental gt Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...Interior Design and Special Features: Much like the Bentley Continental's exterior, the interior changes may not be readily apparent from the last model. The same dash motif, inspired by the winged Bentley logo, is only slightly revised. There's also a three-spoke steering wheel to replace the predecessor's four-spoke item. However, look a little closer and you'll see there have been worthwhile changes. The center stack now houses a new and greatly improved infotainment touchscreen interface (even if it's sourced from Volkswagen), and the instrument panel now features a sharp digital display... |

1995 Lincoln Continental Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...An interesting touch is that for driver and passenger comfort there is a continuous interior airflow exit built into the rear bumper. The instrumentation layout is pretty much state-of-the-art, consisting of a four-gauge panel that holds the speedometer, a tachometer, and temperature and fuel gauge. Likewise, climate and stereo controls are grouped just to the right of the steering wheel in what has become standard mounting positions. For the gadget lovers, the Continental also has a Lincoln umbrella in its own storage pouch, an overhead extendable coat hook, and an overhead console sunglass... |

1996 lincoln continental Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...An optional Personal Security Package includes run-flat Michelin tires mounted on special chrome alloy wheels, a garage door opener and a sophisticated global satellite rescue system. The tires are designed to travel up to 20 miles at 50 mph with no loss of steering or control if they go flat. Slowing down will increase the distance you can travel. A new transmitter system can learn up to three garage and security system codes. But the big news is the Remote Emergency Satellite Cellular Unit (RESCU). Mounted in the overhead console are two buttons. One of them links the driver to roadside... |

2012 bentley continental supersports conv. Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...Safety: Standard safety features for the Continental Supersports Convertible include antilock carbon-ceramic disc brakes, stability and traction control and side curtain airbags (coupe). In Edmunds brake testing, a Supersports coupe came to a stop from 60 mph in a very short 109 feet. Interior Design and Special Features: In keeping with the Supersports' slant on performance, its interior foregoes Bentley's customary rich leather and impeccable wood veneers for a sportier aesthetic. Track-inspired carbon fiber and faux suede are featured, and the GTC's comfortable front seats have been... |

...Published: 10/02/1992 Updated: 10/02/2009 What's New for 1992: The passenger airbag is revived this year and two trim-levels are available, the Signature and the Executive. |

2012 Bentley Continental GT Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...A Whale of a Cabin Otherwise, the interior looks great, with a welcome range of available appointments, from warm tones and wood trim to the contemporary gray-black leather and piano-black trim of our test car. Our leather was designated "Beluga," which is a type of whale, but Bentley says Beluga refers to Beluga caviar, which is a similar black color — and comes from a sturgeon, incidentally, not a whale. That covers all the bases, I suppose. No whales were harmed in the making of this car. As for the cows … it didn't work out as well for them. The entire interior is nicely... |

2013 bentley continental gt Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...But with the lighter, leaner V8 Continental GT offering nearly equal performance, better efficiency and a lower sticker price, the 12-cylinder has lost a lot of appeal. The new V8 uses two smaller, more responsive turbos compared to its larger counterpart, and shuts down a bank of four cylinders when cruising under a light load. Combined with improved engine cooling and steering, reduced drag, lower-rolling-resistance tires and 55 fewer pounds, the 2013 Continental GT yields 40 percent better fuel efficiency than the current model, according to Bentley. Engineers also retuned the chassis and... |

1991 Lincoln Continental Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...FIT, FINISH, CONTROLS This is where the Continental excels. The interior is superb. The leather seats have built-in inflatable lumbar supports and numerous power adjustments. They are sofa like in terms of comfort. Even the tallest and heaviest rear seat passengers should have no problem getting comfortable. The big bench seat is on the firm side of soft. Fake wood is not one of the things that I care for in $35,000 cars, but give Ford credit: The fake wood in the Continental could pass for real. It looks good. Switches for most of the power accessories are built into the driver's door panel... |
