The Continental is a Taurus with four wheel air suspension and a V8.

All Lincolns are built off of a platform that is shared with standard Ford vehicles.

For the year 2000;

Town Car - Crown Vic.

Continental - Taurus.

LS - Thunderbird.

Navigator - Expedition.

If the Continental is not built off of a Taurus, then please enlighten me with your opinion.

That is true. Forgot the Conti of those years was built on the Taurus, which was considered "not the most reliable car" and basically killed the reputation of that model name single handed.

Yeah, the sad part is that the owner probably got a bad taste in his mouth of the Lincoln brand.

Yeah, the Town Car is way more reliable, but maybe because it's old technology that had been tested by time, is part of the reason.
