The new Continental is a genuinely brilliant automobile. I'd take mine as a Black Label in Rhapsody Blue with the Chalet interior, three-liter 400-horse AWD and every factory option. Once you do that, you're looking at seventy-eight grand, but the equivalent Funfer BMW costs fifteen stacks more and isn't as nice inside. I'd say that the Continental heralds a genuine return of American-made luxury. (Unless you think Tesla already got there, of course.)
The problem for me is that I don't really have $78k lying around. If I did, I think I'd spend it on a base Viper. In either case, however, I'd have the satisfaction of buying American. Would you like to experience that same satisfaction for somewhat less than the $78,000 price of a Black Label Continental or even the $44,300 of a Continental Premier? Then check out The American List at A Continuous Lean. It's more of a guideline than an authoritative document on sourcing, but it's a good place to start. And somewhere between Alden and Zippo you'll find something that is just right for you.
Glad I took your advice!
