Maybe we do need more context but IMO it is a big problem. models aren’t selling, that could be a lot of factors but IMO is that Lincoln is sadly less relevant to consumers and also all the multiple recalls. The terribly slow update as you say isn’t helping

The following order guides are now available for download in the Dealer Order Guides section. 2025 Lincoln Nautilus Order Guide 2025 Lincoln Nautilus Order Guide (Canada) Thanks @escapeman and @RedHoncho01

Does anyone know why there are no major American battery manufacturers? Perhaps I’m just not aware of them. I absolutely despise doing business with China, our number one national security threat.

I am not a member of a union and I think my wage is pretty good. My position is you would not be able to get good employees if you weren’t paying a sufficient wage to entice them to work there. You may get poor quality workers to work for less, but your product will suffer because of it, as would sales. As such, your wage has to be commensurate with a quality workforce. The old saying, you get what you pay for, applies to many things. I would also argue the high-quality union workers would likely be making more money if they weren’t limited by the contract, and those problem workers would not be making the same amount of money as the good workers or they would be gone from the company.

Atlas Blue! It bears some resemblance to Velocity and Lightning Blue. Agree with jod on that color on the Everest. We saw several Everests in that color on a recent trip to NZ.

Well, if it is simply that models aren’t selling and not other mitigating factors, I would argue that the terribly slow update/rollout of existing models isn’t helpful.

Below is the link to a great read about what was happening at Ford in the 1980s and how, Don Petersen, Jac Telnack and Lou Veraldi plays their parts in making the FWD Taurus happen. Even though Petersen was a strong supporter of RWDs like FOE Sierra and Scorpio (Bob Lutz) he was instrumental in allowing the US team to develop the best possible answer for their market. https://www.curbsideclassic.com/automotive-histories/automotive-history-the-ford-taurus-was-almost-going-to-be-rear-wheel-drive/

Attached are the order guides for the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus for the US and Canada. Notable changes: Panther Blue is dropped and Whisper Blue is added. Black Label non-hybrid gets paddle shifters. Blue Cruise subscription for 4 years becomes standard for all trims. The hybrid is now referred to as FHEV-B. I'm not certain what that entails. Production of dealer stock is reported to begin in mid-July 2024. Customer orders will follow in early August. 2025 Nautilus Order Guide Canada.pdf2025 Lincoln Nautilus Order Guide.pdf

As Lee Iacoccoa once said,.."you never can forget whose name is on the building." Sounds like from that article such was the case with Don Petersen. But if he was responsible for the Taurus, AND the Explorer I would assume, adding his recommendation on Mullaly, makes him 3 for 3 ! Not many other Ford CEO's I would think had such significant milestones in their careers.

A member on Lincoln Forums posted this today. As order banks for the 25 opened up today with Job 1 mid July. This is the Canadian order guide. 2025 Nautilus Order Guide.pdf. Premier is now available in Canada. Many options from the Reserve 202a package are now standard. Moon roof included. Panther Blue is out. Whisper Blue is in. Truffle interior can now be had with Jet Package.

Huh? 😂😂

Didn't watch that one. I'll take you at your word 👍

No-one is against paying hard working people a fair, and livable wage. They're against unions adopting the mentality of more is never enough.

only after you pay an advertising fee...........

Never mind. Might as well bang my head into a brick wall.

I think it is a Mandella effect due to it sinking in the fictional future of the Kevin Costner film "Waterworld" The Valdez was Dennis Hopper's ship in the film.

You would be wrong. I am a capitalist but, business needs the balance of a union to pay those that put the money in the coffers and Union needs to ensure that the products they produce for the business are desired and bought. It is a tightrope that both sides of a negotiations table need to walk so that both entities are successful. Since you are the moderator, I will end the conversation here.

Need a lot more context to judge how bad it is.

Looks much like early 80s trucks with their relatively flat faces and square look. They made it LESS imposing looking; "like a Ford truck". Nope. "Let's make sure we pretend it doesn't look like a 40-year-old Chevy". "Blindfold design?" "Yep, I'm going on vacation (again)".

It might be time for alarm bells at Lincoln, says iSeeCars Lincoln landed the “top spot” among slow-selling brands, taking an average of 82.6 days to move inventory. Infiniti wasn’t much better, at 79.8 days, and Buick came third with 79 days to sell. Slowest-selling new cars of 2024 Lincoln: 82.6 days to sell Infiniti: 79.8 Buick: 79 Audi: 75.1 Ram: 69.7 Ford: 68.1 Dodge: 67.4 GMC: 66.6 Acura: 65.4 Lexus: 64.5 https://www.autoblog.com/article/slowest-selling-new-cars-2024/

Sport and fx4 packages have a black or dark grey grille and should be an easy swap.
