  1. For what it's worth, my 2020 Corsair was an electrical basketcase and was bought back. I'm in a '21 Nautilus and have had no issues.
  2. My Corsair leasing process was the best I've ever had, hands down. I worked with one person start-to-finish, most of the communication was via phone/email/text. I got the right level of information in a timely manner. All of the paperwork was drawn up and ready to go once we hammered everything out, and most of the time at the dealership was spent doing the vehicle walkthrough. It's been a shame that my service experience hasn't been anywhere close to what they're advertising.
  3. I'm not opposed to OTA feature updates. It's certainly more convenient that the current Sync 3 update process. That said, the only problems I've had with my Corsair have been electrical, and all have been related to software.
  4. I had a '20 Nautilus as a courtesy car a couple of weeks ago while they were working on my Corsair. I'm excited about the new interior, as honestly that was the one thing I didn't/don't like about the current Nautilus. The Nautilus definitely has more width, but really doesn't feel much bigger than the Corsair. I'm not sure how much of that is the current dash design though. One thing that I found interesting - the Nautilus runs a lot of the user configuration settings through the instrument cluster whereas the Corsair uses the touch screen for the same settings. I'm guessing that's why the '21 Nautilus is sticking with the current steering wheel controls instead of adopting the Corsair's joysticks.
  5. I agree Ford whiffed on the Escape from a styling and interior perspective. I'm betting the Bronco Sport will be where people go, and honestly they should put the hybrid powertrain there.
  6. Most companies run 'just-in-time' to minimize supply chain cost. Not just automakers. When COVID hit, railcars and containers were arriving and no one was there to unload them and/or gov't restrictions required 30 days dwell. They end up piling up in one spot and become 'storage'. For each one used as 'storage' is one less that can be used to move goods. We're honestly a good 12-18 months from being back in balance globally.
  7. Apologies - when I said everything works just like the keyfob, that included the hatch. Phone in pocket, no key, approach the vehicle, exterior lights come on. Rear hatch opens by kicking foot under rear bumper.
  8. I'm honestly not that surprised by the amount of damage done. The impact beam behind the bumper covers of most modern cars no longer extend to the corners. There's literally nothing back there but the corner of the unibody. Which when hit, potentially damage the floorpan, the rear crossmember, and the rear fender and anything attached to them.
  9. I have a Corsair with PAAK - it was quite flaky getting set up, but once done it has worked fine in general. The key (ha!) was to delete any existing Bluetooth connection between the car and the phone, then set up the PAAK. The exterior lights up when I get near the car with the phone, and everything on the exterior works just like the key fob. I've noted on a few occasions if I jump in and try to start the car, it will tell me there's no key. If I give it about 5 seconds, it works fine.
  10. I respectfully disagree. This last generation Impala was a very nice car and underappreciated. It was my go-to during business travel.
  11. I can assure you that the 3 I test drove and the one I bought don't do that. I guarantee you it was a press vehicle, and there's no telling who did what to that one. Same with the door rattles he mentions.
  12. Cadillac's styling recently hasn't been speaking to me. Or at least not saying much of what I want to hear. It's just bland. That's what I think about what I've seen of the upcoming Escalade too.
  13. They haven't logged back in since they posted their question. So they probably haven't seen the answer.
  14. I echo the groans (ha!) with the 1.5L Escape. I found myself puttering along just to avoid the noise and vibration. Interestingly, there's another 1.5L car that has the same problem - The Honda Insight. Even though it's a Honda, and a 4-cylinder I found it to be just as groany and shaky as the Escape's 3-cylinder.
