They aren’t a “true 4x4”. Full time All Wheel Drive. First brand new vehicle I bought on my own, left over 03 in Feb 04. Still love it as much as the day I drove it off the showroom floor💯

Nah, that title went to the Taurus SHO manual & Dodge Spirit R/T.

@@headliner733 None of which had a V8. Also the Continental was faster than the SHO.

@@thatboringblenderguy Didn't need a V8 to be fast. The Spirit R/T & SHO manual were much faster than the Continental. As a matter of fact, the R/T & SHO were the quickest American sedans in the early 90s. I have owned all three. You need to do your research.

No it didn't. It was a better car in every way than the one it replaced which was V6 fwd. Everyone cried it needed a V8. They gave it a V8 then everyone cried it was too expensive. Why the hell would you want 4x4 in a 1990s Lincoln? What other luxury car had 4x4 in the 1990s? You don't need 4x4 in these. Most of the weight sits in front of the steer axle on squishy tires that grip so you get awesome traction.

Look at the acceleration clip. It barely spun the tires because they grip from being squishy and all that weight sitting on em.

@@headliner733 well ...i live in europe so in the winter a 4*4 is pretty good.....i have a couple of cars and the real wheal drive ones are inusable in the winter where i live..... pretty close to the mountains my daily drive a Benz has 4*4 because i used to have one normal and i almost died when i was going to my vacation home.I also have a Lincolm Town car as a hobby car and if i used it every day it would have been a problem the back traction i mean.Front wheel drive on a big car has some problems first of all weight is on the front and the power distribution thing(idk how its called in english) can break on bumpy roads....a small 2-3 liter engine doesnt put that much problems on the car because its lighter.In Usa you guys have big open roads and the roads are better than in eastern europe but i had problems with a front wheel drive older opel with a bigger engine 2.8(over here its a big engine).4wd is great on any car especially if its a project car.....all my project cars had 4wd.....you cant even put on the wheel more than 250-300 hp.....that opel of mine didnt put more than 320-330 hp on the wheel but at the flywheel(volanta is called in romanian i hope its a correct translation) had 410 hp.It was a lot of power for that car and because of that i had to change a lot of stuff at 10-15000 km....it was a drag.....the engine was great but the rest wasnt good enough.

@@visanion1361 Well we have winters here too and Canada as well. Nobody complains about big fwd cars having bad traction. This is why they have traction control. It helps. It can't mimic a 4x4 with locking diffs but it can mean the difference between being able to keep going or getting stuck.

@@headliner733 fwd are way better in the winter than rwd no discussion but if its a big pwerfull engine it doesnt put the power down understears etc....
