  1. Do they have any on the lot you can test drive? My dealer has a couple. Might help sway your decision. I would probably lean towards the hybrid.
  2. This is my favorite car of all time. I had NFS2 growing up and I raced with this car and used to sit in the showcase learning about it. I remember finding out some interesting facts about it. The V12 I believe was based on 2 InTech V8s they welded together with 2 cylinders cut off each to get to 12. They tested the V12 on a Town Car on Ford's Proving Grounds to see how it ran and held up. There's a video of Jeremy Clarkson driving it on the old Top Gear in the 90s and he states the turbos aren't hooked up but you could still hear them spinning. Ford claimed 250+ MPH top speed but most sites have it listed for 235 not sure what the actual top speed it. I know it's out in Oklahoma I want to go out there and see it in person one day.
  3. I imagine they get this by pushing the driver's area forward with there not being a need for an engine up front?
  4. Are they fitted with the recalled tank shield? My friend's dad had one for many years and used to always say I BOUGHT IT AFTER THEY FIXED IT!!! ITS A GOOD CAR!!
  5. I know its anecdotical, but I have not seen a Santa Cruz on the roads yet. I walked a Hyundai dealership with my friend this past weekend and saw them and realized I hadn't seen one driving about.
  6. That's what I was referring to, Navigator should have gotten in in 2018 specially since the MKT had it as an option when it launched in 2010.
  7. It's also strange that the Aviator got it before the Navigator. Navigator is supposed to be the flagship. Aviator got a few things before the Navigator like heated/cooled 2nd row seating... and the MKT had that too. Navigator didn't get that till the most recent refresh. Odd.
  8. There are a few things Lincoln does not do across the board which I find odd. The height of the door handles on the Navigator makes sense but if the Navigator gets air suspension like the Aviator and lowers itself I could see that being a play. The other thing that is not consistant across the lineup is the placement of the power seat switches. All of them except the Nautilus have them on the door panel while the Nautilus has it on the side of the seat. This is however nothing new with Lincoln and it drives me crazy. In the 80s the Town Car Continental and Mark VII all had it on the door. In the 90s the Town Car and Continental had it on the door while the Mark VIII had it on the side of the seat. Enter the Navigator and LS in the late 90s it's on the side of the seat too. Enter the Aviator in 2003 and it's on the door, refreshed Navigator still on the side of the seat. I wish they would just have the entire lineup have the seat controls on the door Lincoln has done that a long time and it would be nice for some consistency.
  9. I know pricing is "in line" with the market but I am having a hard time wrapping my head around a 45k Ranger. in 2019 my ex's father got a really nice XLT Ranger that was really well equipped for 30k. He had Sync 3 in it with nav, I want to say he had heated seats too plus he had dual zone climate. It was basically a Lariat without it being a Lariat.
  10. Thanks for the suggestion. I went over his house last night to try to calm him down and put a plan together. We called the Lincoln Concierge and they flat out told him too bad so sad you're out of warranty. He said "Really? I am under the miles and just 1 month past there's NOTHING you can do to help?" And they flat out said no, thanks for being a Lincoln customer. I suggested the AWA like you posted and looked up info on it. He took that info to the dealership this morning and they said sorry that has to come from the Lincoln Concierge we can't do it. So, he called them back and asked them about it and again they flat out said no and that there are 0 programs available to him and he has to pay out of pocket for a new engine. This is mind blowing to me I cannot believe Lincoln customer service is not stepping up at all to help out. Needless to say he's done with this car he's picking it up and going to sell it as is and he's done with Ford and Lincoln.
  11. I used to have a 2013 MKZ Hybrid and I found it pretty rough when it would switch back to gas from electric and on cold (or cooler days here in FL) it would be kind of rough. Huge difference compared to my 2017 3.0T AWD which is very smooth and quiet in comparison.
  12. Well I got an update from my friend and the last Lincoln dealership, it is in fact a cracked cylinder so he has coolant intrusion so he needs a new engine. Apparently the service advisor told him Lincoln used to have a 7 year warranty and they changed it to 6, I told him not to pay too much attention to that. At this point he's done with the car and is extremely pissed off. I told him to reach out the concierge and see if they will still cover the powertrain warranty being only 1 month past but I think he's just going to move on from it all together.
  13. Ford E350 Raptor R, cmon Ford do it you cowards let the Econoline name go out with a bang!
  14. A very sharp U turn from 100% EV by 2030 like they announced a few years ago. That being said I am glad they are NOT diving head first into EV only. I do however think offering plugin Hybrids as an option is a must.
