"resurrect the past with the future"

With the 2015 Continental Concept car under development Lincoln wanted to offer its drivers with the experience of technological necessities

and a suite of artifacts that had not yet been offered to the classical American Manufacturers unlike their European counterparts. 

"cohesive harmony is more important than a hero"

The lack of cohesive elements is what made the Luxury package a challenge.

Need versus Focus lead the lack of cohesion with the user's need and the product.

"limitations"

You cannot create true luxury with cheap carryover components and hope the user doesn't notice.
