2013 Lincoln MKS: Better handling, increased power, improved efficiency, additional standard features, more refinement and new driver assist features provide luxury customers with important new reasons to consider Lincoln and its flagship sedan, the 2013 MKS. (11/17/2011) *** Local Caption ***

Rock and roll legend Neil Young may have let plans for a new Lincoln Continental slip out to the public.

In an interview with CNBC, Neil Young says that his new high-quality portable music player and download service, Pono, will be available as an integrated feature in the 2016 Lincoln Continental. Young also says that Tesla plans to offer the music player in its cars.

A replacement for the Lincoln MKS is currently in the works and is the most likely car to sport the Continental nameplate. The car will ride on a stretched version of the MKZ’s front-wheel drive platform.

The MKS replacement will likely be revealed sometime in late 2015.
