Well, given the Nautilus and Navigator were "all" new/full redesigns, vs Corsair and Aviator just being refreshes, it makes sense that they wouldn't have moved over to the new look/layout yet....

Did I understand that right that they have a Ford merchandise store that's only open Mon-Fri 9-5?  So nobody that works could actually go?

Can't read the article, but this contradicts all previous reporting of them basically saying "ok, we'll leave" not even trying.   My guess is dealers and maybe customers put up a big stink?

I figure he wants to get control of discourse and focus it away from products that frankly aren’t publicly confirmed, and were just shown at a dealer meeting and towards the Fathom and F150. Those two products are actually confirmed and are more important to Ford’s bottom line and future than these other ones. The other ones except maybe the 4-door Mustang probably won’t seriously alter Ford’s outlook or open up new business areas to explore. 

Yea and back to an inconsistent thing in the lineup.  I know this will be nitpicky but the experience should be the same across the board... and that's the power seat controls.  Not long ago the lineup had them all on the door the most recent models have moved them back to the side of the seat but now with this 2017 Corsair they are staying on the door.  So now the Corsair and Aviator have the power seat controls on the door and the Nautilus and Navigator have them on the side of the seat.  I wish they just kept them on the door to stay consistent.

That's not a good thing actually.  There have been a lot of issues with modern Lincolns that I have seen in a lot of groups of the B-Pillars developing these bubbles and they are expensive to replace.  I had to do it on both my MKZs 2013 and 2017.  And it's not just MKZs but I have seen it affect a lot of other Lincoln and Ford models so I hope it's NOT like the black B pillars  

Can't read the original AutoNews report on the Excursion. If it does actually come to fruition, it is good for me because an Excursion is one of my favorite cars of all time.    Perhaps there is a bit more to the increase in capacity Ford is building for its Super Duty line than we knew for the next few years, at least for a potential gas Excursion?

Polestar is claiming they where strung along by the current administration    https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/ev-maker-polestar-says-trump-administration-strung-it-along-before-u-s-ban

Nothing new about that statement. Levine stated it several days ago:   Update: A Ford spokesperson reached out to KBB but did not confirm or deny the Automotive News report, saying, “We are not going to comment on future product speculation, much of which is inaccurate. What we can say is Ford is focused on delivering a massive product renewal that will refresh 80% of our North American portfolio by volume by 2029. This includes the all-new Ford Fathom midsize pickup on the new Universal Electric Vehicle platform, alongside the next-generation F-150 and F-Series Super Duty.”     

For sure when it comes to the command staff-below the Whitehouse and the Secretary slot.
