TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Lincoln Continental is a pleasing, contradictory piece that drips with ornate trim, but drives like a more mature MKZ.

The 2017 Volvo S90 gets all the elegance and style of the brilliant new XC90 crossover, in a sedan package.

TCC Likes

Subtle shape wears big details well
Cabin strikes in a glamorous direction
Big thrust from its 400-hp twin-turbo V-6

Elegant, distinctive Scandinavian design
Fuel-efficient, refined powertrains
Segment-leading active safety

TCC Dislikes

Lincoln brand all but unknown in this price class
How will traditional luxury play in a Tesla era?
Proportions give away front-wheel-drive origins

Tight access to roomy back seat
Full (CarPlay) connectivity not a standard feature
Brand still lacks luxury cachet
