Autoblog used to be my go to site. When they sold to AOL the quality started to drop. Then the redesigned the site so you couldn't organize articles based on brand anymore and by then I was out.

I think you're referring to Doug DeMuro's video on brands he expects to go away. Buick is a tough one because it does not offer anything over Chevy and their base models are priced the same or very close to Chevy base models. I believe you can still get Buicks with cloth seats too. I don't want to see any more brands axed but Buick needs SOMETHING because right now they got nothing. I know the usual argument is China keeps Buick alive but I think last I saw Buick has fallen quite a bit in China so they may be on borrowed time.

But cars do have a headlight indicator light too. But goes with people not paying attention or not knowing what the icons on their cluster stand for. Hell even my 04 Aviator has this but it's on the headlight switch itself not in the cluster. But my 13 MKZ and my 17 MKZ have this.

I see people driving around at night with their lights off all the time. Worst case is most of the time it's a newer car so people are moving their switch from auto to off and forgetting

I suggested in another thread a Lincoln based on the Bronco with a fixed roof. I think they could pull it off and go after the G Class and Defender. The only thing hurting them is those 2 have a long history where Lincoln has 0 history there. But have to start somewhere. What if they made a model based on the Everest? It may overlap with Aviator but could be more off road focused. Could they make something like a raised Zephyr Wagon for the US market to go after something like the Audi Allroad and focus on active people who like biking and kayaking? A 2 door Corsair might be intriguing but I also like the idea of the Puma and making it Sporty. A small Sporty Puma with a Lincoln level interior might be an intriguing option. There are options out there for Lincoln to expand. Of course I'd love if the Zephyr came here to the US. Then I have my out of the world idea of a SUV based on the Super Duty Chassis called a Dominator. It would probably not sell well but just imagine a fully decked out interior with no compromises lol

I wouldn't be ok with that either.

I don't think anyone said it would have the same exact interior. My complaint was it would have the same coast to coast screen which would make the Navigator feel less special. Especially since the Escalade has a coast to coast screen but the lower GM models don't. Let's face it typically in the past if Lincoln were to debut a new feature almost immediately after a Ford would get it too which would ruin the "exclusivity" the Lincoln would have.

Ok this has me feeling better about the Navigator

They sell the Mondeo and Zephyr in China

Lincoln needs a serious kick in the butt. I don't know what the answer is for them but they need something. I think Nautilus is a step in the right direction and adding a hybrid power train has helped. I think Aviator needs a hybrid as well, I know the GT wasn't well received but I wonder if they could have tried to refine it more maybe that's still on the table? I still feel the brand needs at least 1 sedan in it's lineup too. I know I am beating a dead horse with that one but sedans still work for luxury brands.

The divider between the front and 2nd row eats up a lot of leg room. Even the CVPI had little to no rear leg room with the divider.

A fixed roof Bronco or this would be nice to see in Ford's lineup here

Finally got around to watching this, I see they added 3rd row heated seats which is great that was on my list of things that should be added, I think the BWM X7 has this feature so nice to see them add this.

That's probably the version of Sync 1 they have. I think the last version of Sync 2 is 3.10 which is confusing lol

So like the MKT? lol
