twintornados Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Seeing the recently closed "other thread" that has the same article link in it stating that Corsair was seen cold weather testing in Europe would lead one to think Ford was considering a Lincoln intro into the European market. Vignale trim spec was Fords answer to "European Luxury" vehicles for that market. Not sure if they still offer Vignale spec there or not.

I don't think there's a chance they introduce Lincoln in Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its been a thing in almost 8-10 years. I did a quick check of the Ford UK website and didn't see any mention of it as a trim level. Looks like the Titanium trim is the high end model like it is on some products in the NA market. Edited March 17 by Sherminator98 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it disappeared quietly. It's good that they seem to be moving forward with importing Corsair. They can't drop 1/4 of the lineup and expect good things to happen. I'm still curious about the timing, though.....seems like they should've announced this already to avoid a lag of production/supply. Maybe it's an effort to draw down inventory? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jniffen Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Isn’t the former Nautilus plant in Canada still idling? Too bad the can’t assemble both the Corsair and Nautilus there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Ford build a bunch of Corsairs prior to ending production in Louisville to provide Lincoln dealers with inventory to carry them over until the 2027 model arrives? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sales aren't linear of course, but a 6 month inventory is concerning. The same with Ford. If the product planners guessed wrong about trims and packages that alone can slow sales plus whatever gas prices do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current state of OAC is that 300 people have been called back. Leaders, MP&L, Metal guys from Body and some Paint people. There’s over 3000 contractors in the plant and minimal space to train people. Some people took some training at the union hall some at Ford of Canada headquarters which is on the property. The new Stamping plant is nearing completion. They want to start the TT build April 12. Word is we might all be back in June, time will tell. We will be called back trained in class then laid off again til when they’re ready for us. Also we have to bid on jobs which the process isn’t read yet so still some time to go. No product will come out of Oakville til later in the year I can tell you that. That’s my update. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retooling of the plant is far along and will be completed in the next few months. One shift operation except for the stamping plant itwill be three shifts there. No idea if there will ever be more shifts added. Getting back in there after being off since May 3 2024 will be an achievement.

I don’t know if they will use the stamping plant for KTP as well. Buffalo stamps some parts for KTP and KTP also has their own stamping plant as well. It’s possible though. You raise a very good question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually 200,000 units for an assembly plant is more feasible output than 80-100000 units. 3 billion Canadian for only one shift in the main plant?? I have to wonder if more is planned or that’s it. Time will tell, especially with the current tariff and world events situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 You're supposed to get the 'electrified' version too, right? I would expect that to increase your number of units in a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
