Lincoln's Sales Soar!




                In the past, Lincoln wasn’t doing very well. Lincoln basically only rebadged the Ford vehicles with minor upgrades. But lately, with new models like the MKZ and the brand new Continental, Lincoln has redefined itself. With the new refreshed models, US sales have grown by 10 percent, the best growth that Lincoln has seen in nine years.

                The icing on the cake for their rebound record year was December. Thanks to the success of the new Continental and the brand’s newest SUVs, Lincoln ended 2016 with considerable growth and momentum for the next year. The all-new Lincoln Continental pulled in an additional 1,845 sales in December, bringing its total since launch to 5,261 units sold. Lincoln SUV sales were up 11.9% in 2016 as the MKX and MKC carried the lion’s share. MKX sales were up 39.5% at a total of 30,967 units sold, and MKC sales rose 4% at 25,562 units sold for the year.
               
                While the sales have been impressive in the United States, in China, sales on Lincoln have improved by three fold. Lincoln sold 32,558 cars in 2016 in China. This growth was mainly attributed to positive reception to the brand's SUV models and a growing number of dealerships which now stands at 65. New Lincoln models have some of the most comfortable seats on the market as well as very roomy back seats, both of which are very important to Chinese consumers.


                Great things are coming this year for the luxury brand, with the launch of the Lincoln Service Valet program. Ready to drive a Lincoln? Check out our Inventory of fine Lincoln vehicles and contact us to test drive yours today!

IT'S HERE!!!!

IT’S HERE!!


We’ve been patiently waiting for years for Lincoln to reintroduce the Continental, and now we have one at Gurley Leep Southside Ford Lincoln.

                Showcased in our showroom is a brand new 2017 Lincoln Continental Select. This Continental is Magnetic Gray Metallic and is a thing of beauty. You deserve a vehicle designed for higher expectations. And this Lincoln Continental delivers with a luxurious, well-appointed interior and world-class engineering. Enjoy the comfort and safety of this AWD Lincoln Continental Select equipped with many standard features found on other vehicles as optional equipment.

                The Brand New Lincoln Continental is loaded with all the newest technology in the infotainment system. Equipped with Navigation, Satellite and Bluetooth Premium Stereo, 360 degree camera, Panoramic sunroof and heated and cooled seats, this has everything you could possibly ask for.

                My favorite feature on the new Continental is the door handles. The handles are integrated into the trim of the window on the outside of the door, hiding the handles in the chrome, gives the Continental a streamlined look that I have not seen before. On the inside of the car, the door release is a button, light pressure on the door release button and the door pops open. Simple little innovations like this, are what set Lincoln away from other luxury automobiles.


                 This is the one, just what you've been looking for. With quality in mind, this vehicle is the perfect addition to take home. Check out our brand new Lincoln Continental and contact
