The MPS can be personalized for two different drivers and manages 12 functions related to driving comfort and safety. A 300-mile trek through the historic and scenic Carmel and Salinas valleys culminated by a drive up State highway 1 overlooking the Pacific Ocean very adequately proved the performance, handling, safety and comfort attributes of the 1995 Lincoln Continental. The new Continental has been completely redesigned and now displays a smooth, rounded shape with low coefficient of drag of .32. Its low nose with a shiny grille and prominent headlights flows back over a large cabin and downsloped deck lid. The curved sides feature a side rub strip for protection from other car doors.
Window trim is black except for a stainless steel highlight on each side.
Lincoln focus groups defined much of the equipment for the luxurious yet practical interior. Several items stand out. Two interior layouts are available, a five passenger one with split bucket seats and a console with a floor shifter, and a six passenger split bench seat with a column- mounted shifter. This allows the driver to place a call and talk with both hands on the wheel. One can truly ride or drive in custom comfort that is at one's finger tips.
