I don't see the Bentley comparison at all, besides that they're both luxury. They have way different headlights, the Lincoln grille is a Jaguar copy not Bentley, the "hood into front fascia" design is more Chrysler 300 than anything, and the bottom of fascia is entirely different. The only things that are similar is the rear haunches and the little decal on the side between the passenger mirror and wheel well. Seriously? He's going to cry about that? Does Bentley have the rights to any and all 4 door luxury designs? Lol.

You really don't see that the Lincoln is just a slightly distorted version of the Bentley with different headlights? The hood strakes are identical, the grille opening is only slightly different, and even has the middle line break. Windows are very similar, back even to the small glass behind the rear doors. Haunches are identical. There is a reason the Bentley designer sarcastically asked if Lincoln wanted to just go ahead and use their body panel molds.

Ehh. The 2007 Chrysler 300 was a blatant copy of the Bentley that year, down to practically everything. That's what I would say is a blatant copy, not this similarity stuff.

That one angle has similarities. Look at the back end, completely different. Like I said, the haunches and the little emblem are the only things I really see. The small glass and C pillar are of course similar, they usually are. The hood I disagree with entirely. The Lincoln hood is flatter, and rises to the hood strakes, while the Bentley is bowed and falls over the strakes. Are they similar? Sure. But not enough to warrant people being upset.

Well Bentley made such a generic shaped car, how can you not copy it? Only thing I see is that center line on the hood. The grille is wider and everything else is different.

I think this car looks way better than the Bentley. Bentley = overrated & overpriced
