ANTAUS

When the stock prices start dropping, then watch them share more info...

If that's the case, then let's bring back the PROBE !!! 😛

To add, supposedly Toyota is talking about bringing the Celica back, and somehow I believe Honda followed suit with saying they might bring the Prelude back. If I remember correctly (since my friends in HS had these vehicles), the reason they bombed in the 90s, was mainly the price. A Celica and Prelude back then could hit 25-28K, whereas a Mustang GT could be had for even less. Now here we are 30 years later in a declining segment of vehicles, and they still think they can pull it off...If that's the case, bring out the Probe?

Mustang Mach-E sold more than regular Mustang...I guess the name,or the fact it's crossover looking, or not a "real Mustang" (as some claimted it), hasn't hurt it any...

My city went from Explorer's to Tahoes.. mainly because of price...Tahoes were about the same as an Explorers and easier to work on for the apparatus they have to had install in them. And be able to jump a curb easily if need be. The only thing they enjoyed about the Explorer's were the 3.0L engines power.

I'm amused at the Nautilus sales... It's not Lincoln's entry model, but rather the one above it, made in China, that's the best seller this year. Guess many do not care or know it's made in China... the irony...

In other publications, other reviewers have stated the 2.3L in the Explorer is more than what most people will need. I'm sure it's still faster and more responsive than what the Jeep has to offer...

Funny story, Picture it, 1995 Miami, first job. Owners mother comes in shows off her Lexus Es300...She hated it. She looks out the window in front of the business"OH I wish I could buy that" (it was my mothers 94 740iL-it was blocking my car in the garage so took hers) and I'm like, yeah it's my mothers, you can afford that, you own the franchise owner and own a few stores "why didn't you?" she like "I can't I'm Jewish" I'm like "Ok so splurge a little"...shes like "NO Anthony you don't get it, I'm Jewish, I can't own a German vehicle"... I'm like "hm didn't know that was a concern".... A week later she shows up with a new Ford Explorer...She was sssoooo happy...she shows it off and guess what I said "Hmm I thought you couldn't own a German vehicle"...she's says "Hmm this is a Ford" I tell her "look at your Monroney sticker, Your engine was made in Cologe Germany, as well as your transmission!"... She was not happy...surprised she didn't fire me, oh she hated me, but I was the best employee they had LOL Maybe it takes a generation but honestly after awhile, people stop caring...Look where Hyundai is today, after hearing in the 80s/90s "OH I will never"....Bad credit and cheap prices are sometimes way of converting LOL

I wonder why they (the author of the article) suggested the 2.7L for the "Hot rod" Nautilus and Zephyr when the 3.0L is at play. IMO the only thing wrong with the current Nautilus (other than the touchy brakes you get accustomed to) is it really needs an extra 50HP... All this sounds great but as JPD80 says, gotta attract more buyers to the brand.

Lincoln Nautilus is in the finalists round... MotorTrend.com

Especially when the competition is right around the corner... Autoblog

But on a side matter, consumer buying habits.. (I think people buy more than they should or can afford), vehicle lifespans, people holding onto vehicles longer... I have friends buying their kids (on a teachers salary in Florida LOL) new vehicles...knowing her in HS where she made a 20 year old vehicle work back then... At what point does a market crash, because its not sustainable....?

The fact in the other thread, that the updated Chinese Aviator has a much larger screen than what we get in our refresh is frustrating...

That's my issue with shopping for the new Ranger... my garage can only fit 218in. length. My options are limited. I'm in FL, I will not leave a vehicle outside to fester in the heat and storms. I never get how my neighbors will leave vehicles parked outside to rot in the elements, vehicles that depreciate and they are still making payments on, but grandma's "antiques" from Room's To Go, take precedence and take up their garage space.

Autoblog.com ...."7 out of every 10 vehicles sold were F-series pickups"...

Ford has a winner... Autoblog.com

I believe the federal government has mandated, or will be mandating car manufacturers to have automatic headlamps as standard equipment in vehicles. Not sure what the update with that is... and something related to the instrumentation, where people assume the lights are on because the instruments are bright and meanwhile have their headlights off. I see so much of that when I'm in the Disney area here in Orlando, and you have tourists driving in rental vehicles that are new to them.

Ford Authority Because Ford doesn't seem to be posting them on their website....

Only other vehicle still left in Lincoln China is the Zephyr. They can always "test" the market and just import that model as needed. Considering how well the Nautilus is selling the "it's made in China" factor doesn't seem to bother many.
