    OK, so I am a long, tall guy and the new Lincoln Continental seats with their amazing adjustability look perfect for me! Short of driving a Lincoln Continental (gag!), I wonder.....

    I found a set of seats on eBay for $2,100 obo, so they’ll need to come down in price, but I wonder if they could be adapted into our car.

    On a more realistic level, I am looking a Recaro’s but back in the ‘70’s I bought a set for my Ford Capri II S and they were disappointingly small and hard. The thigh extension was awesome, but otherwise not worth the $$. I sold the seats to a Porsche guy and put the stock seats back in before selling them, so I got my money out of them.

    Any thoughts?

    Let's put it this way, I can't get a gen won passenger seat to work in my 2013 without disabling all the airbags. I'm sure with enough ingenuity and fab work you could fit almost any seat, the Pu isn't a tiny car. Most likey though, you will be giving up your airbags to do it.

    I'm still debating some frakenstein ideas on making custom adapters to put the Won seat on the Pu rails and electronics, but it would take major fabrication. The Lincoln seats would have to be worse I imagine.
