Lincoln quality control who is in charge ?
chrisholland03 replied to Clinton77's topic in Lincoln Motor Company Discussion
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. -
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.

2021 Lincoln Nautilus new interior?
chrisholland03 replied to akirby's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
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. -
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.

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.

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.

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.

I respectfully disagree. This last generation Impala was a very nice car and underappreciated. It was my go-to during business travel.

Savage Geese reviews the Lincoln Corsair
chrisholland03 replied to Anthony's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
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. -
2021 Escalade Front end shown in Teaser
chrisholland03 replied to rmc523's topic in Competing Products
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. -
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.
