  1. The Build and Price tool is up and running for the 16s. Go onto Lincoln's site, into the main screen of the 2016 MKX in the Future Vehicle tab, and scroll all the way down to the bottom to the build and price button. Hefty price increase with all the bells and whistles. All new territory for Lincoln!
  2. This just happened on my neighbors 2012 Fusion with 12,000 miles. Wife was on the highway, steering fault came up on message center and advancetrac off illuminated on dash. Lost power steering and she did panic for a brief moment losing control of the car before coming to an abrupt stop safely. Dealer replaced steering rack and all has been good so far (going on a month).
  3. Agree. They ruined the front of the Tahoe. The interior is its only saving grace. Also, unless you get the LTZ (shown here), the Tahoe looks rental grade and very boring outside. I know the Expedition shown is the top shelf trim as well, but I think it will look much better regardless of trim line. I just hope they market it and get the word out that they still DO sell them. I think they have a chance of picking up quite a bit of sales.
  4. LINCOLN sales were so good for the month because dealers were literally CLEARING out leftover 13's. Two of my neighbors got MKX's with $8,000 in rebates and the other leased his for $30 LESS/month (same exact lease terms) than I leased my Edge Sport with D-Plan for and his was $51K. Our dealer had 15 MKX's and sold them all in a week and a half once the rebates hit the newspaper.
  5. I actually went back and looked at the 2015 Escalade and you know what, I would take the refreshed Navigator over it any day. The short wheelbase Escalade looks absolutely hideous to me. The front is too much, the wheel design doesn't work, and the rear tail lights are way too big. The LWB ESV looks a little better because there is more surface separating everything going on with the front and the back, but overall I like the clean upright lines of the Navigator way more. The Escalade looks portly and bloated, the Nav just looks rectangular and bold, but conservative. It looks classier to me. My .02
  6. Rotate all the tires on our cars every 5,000 miles when they each go in for service….for $10 extra, it's cheap insurance to get a little more life out of the tires.
  7. They tweeted a front end shot today but I can't get it to attach on here for some reason. Looks promising though!
  8. Not surprised. These low-profile tires are garbage as far as i'm concerned. My dad's 17inch Michelins on his MKZ were gone at 25,000 (rotations every 5K when the vehicle was serviced), and my mom's 17s on her 2012 Impreza only made it to 18,000, granted they were 45 series tires (on the sportier side). I'm currently at 8,000 miles on my Edge Sport with 22s with no signs of wear. The service guy at my dealer said the Pirelli's that is has are top notch and that most Sport owners are getting at least 40,000 miles out of them. Works for me! At approx. $250 a tire I don't want to replace them anytime soon!
  9. http://wot.motortrend.com/1312_michelin_recall_includes_1_3_million_tires.html Good, my parents have had multiple issues with these tires on their 2010 Ford E-Series conversion van. Consistent air pressure issues and the sidewalls have now completely dry-rotted to the point that the tread is beginning to come apart from the sidewall. Our dealer said they have had multiple complaints. Good to hear they are taking care of the problem!
  10. Autoevolution eh? They sure do know their stuff!
  11. Ford really needs an all-new Expedition.....and Lincoln DESPERATELY needs a new Nav NOW.....not in 2017-2018. As a Ford fan, these two vehicles are Ford's weakest links by far. None of my Ford or Lincoln dealers near me carry them, and that's because no one wants them. If I was in the market for a BOF full-size SUV you bet i'd be looking at the GM triplets first. Although i'd never pay $80K for an Escalade Platinum, i've driven my friends and I get why so many people own them. They are wonderful machines to drive. Amazing power and sound, comfortable, and feature packed. It's a package that Ford/Lincoln can't touch with their current models. I'm sure the refresh next year will help but I don't think GM is concerned at all. I hope Ford has some MAJOR plans lined up for the all-new models.
  12. Hello, When you are at work next week could you please give me a status on my Edge. I only have the VIN # so I hope that is acceptable! 2FMDK4AK1DBC15390 Appreciate the help, Nick
