This morning brought us official news from Ford's luxury division, Lincoln. Finally, the Lincoln Motor Company decided to give the the Continental we deserve.
Six inches longer, we received the Continental Coach Doors Edition.

Boasting ample room in the back, it features the much-loved "suicide doors," that made the vintage Continental so wildly popular. When the latest Continental Concept showed up, we originally made one thing clear: It needs the suicide doors.
They didn't show up to production, obviously, which is why today's debut is an occasion. Although we were largely impressed with the all-new Continental, the reality was clear — Lincoln failed to capitalize on a moment in time.
So, now the manufacturer decides to make it right. Great!
There's just another problem: For the 2019 model year, Lincoln has decided to keep the Coach Doors Edition's production limited to a paltry 80 units. For 2020, Lincoln has said it will evaluate the market's response and decide how many we will see.
Having said that, I've got to ask: Of the Lincoln Continental's let downs, which ONE do you think is the BIGGEST mess up with the all-new Continental Coach Doors Edition? The DELAY to market or the fact SO FEW will be produced?
