Mine is sitting at the rail yards in Toronto Ontario. It is a 20 minute drive to my dealer, that is when it gets loaded on to a carrier. Been there for 3 days now.

I've done the pre-production for a new TV spot that's being shot and edited tomorrow and couldn't believe how bad Ford's B-Roll video is now. I've only got about :10 seconds of close-up vehicle footage to work with. The rest of Ford's footage is all distance shots of the vehicles off-road, down trails, through forests, etc. to the point where the vehicle can hardly be identified. Just horrible. This kind of advertising is adequate at best for an Explorer or Bronco, absolutely not for a Lincoln of any style. The Lincoln owner regardless of age is buying this car because he wants Luxury,Comfort, Quiet, and ease of ride , that will be enjoyable to drive , with a teaspoon of fun to drive for added measure. I must admit that in Canada , Cadillac is doing 30 second and one minute spots for the Lyriq. And the way they are showing the car, and Color’s, the interior etc shows that they are on the right track.

What happened to the days that a car commercial featured the car , and showed all its attributes. As well as showing why you should buy our car and not the competition. I am old enough to remember Hugh Downs do commercials for both the Ford LTD , as well as the Mercury Grand Marquis. These ads sold the car, not the idea of going for a drive. I understand that today’s life is about lifestyles. You can't spend tons of money to sell a dream, you need to sell the car. I know how many cars this ad will sell!

My Red Carpet/ Truffle interior Reserve 2 with Hybrid is not being built as the factory is built out for the 24 MY. I have a Blue Panther /Lt Truffle Reserve 2 with Hybrid in transit and presently on a slow boat from China that I am taking. Expect for it to arrive at the dealer late July. This will be my 4th MKX/ Nautilus.

I just found out yesterday that my 24 that I have on order will most likely not be built. as MY 24 is now balanced out . Order said in the system selected to be built yet no VIN yet. He is now trying to find a car on the ground or in close transit.

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.

Most of the dealers in my area of the GTA in Ontario have 1-3 on their lot. If you do a dealership search most availability say in transit. As I want a Red one every dealer who has a red one either on the lot or in transit has ordered it with the Jet Package. I love the seat design of the Jet Package. Just to much all Black in the interior. I wish they had a package available in the Smoked Truffle using the same seat design with the leather/ suede combo. All over Black interiors May be the In thing today, they just make the interior to dark and black boring.

Just received my order verification Dora from Lincoln/ and dealer. 2024 Reserve 202A , Red Carpet. Smoked Truffle Interior, Mat Package. Priority #10. How long does everyone here anticipate will take . I am in the GTA Canada. Thx.

Vacationing in Arizona this week I saw my first one as I was driving directly behind it goi g into a mall parking lot. I had no clue what it was till it turned and I saw its profile. That “Thing” is worse than the Aztec ever was. Made the Aztec look like a beauty queen. I waited for it to park and the driver leave to take a closer look. How was it ever allowed to happen. ?

Lincoln kept this feature on the new Nautilus for 24. I would not be at all surprised to see it deleted as well for 25. As they kept it on 24s to make a marketing splash. Only way I see it kept is if the Chinese use it , as country of origin is China.

I am curious if it possibly has something to do with taxes and or tariffs on this one engine for Canada . Or if Lincoln Canada is actually gouging us Canadians.

I find the most annoying is the Sun roof being open and the buffeting.

The Hybrid we pay for is the engine only. Just as in the US. We get hit pretty hard by Lincoln Canada. Base Reserve package is $65K Reserve 2 package is $7,500. Reserve 3 Package is 12,500. Jet Package is $3,500. Hybrid $3,500. Our well equipt Reserve models are the same price as Black Label in the US.

You pretty much made the decision for me here. I am going to go and drive only the 2.0 again and try to take it out for a bit more of a drive. Just to confirm what I think I already know. Odds are it is the Hybrid. That is where I was always leaning . Thank you again.
