You’re absolutely correct, it’s a known fact that China has tons of excess capacity. I just believe if they ever start selling in the USA they’re gonna have to open an assembly plant there overcapacity or not to infiltrate US market. I’m not saying there is gonna be tons of Chinese plants but there will be one one day I believe in the US.
I'll file it under "believe it when I see it". They've treated Lincoln as the red-headed step child for a while. They finally gave it some attention for a bit, and now back to the back burner.
Hopefully they'll soon announce the Chinese Corsair coming here (at least as a stopgap) to keep that segment void filled, while also offering a refresh for us, and then adding the Bronco version if rumors are true.
Lincoln President Says Luxury Brand Will Get More Exciting
Prior to her departure, Craig revealed that Lincoln planned to continue to focus more on wellness, with purposely crafted interior environments and exterior designs, plus distinct features. However, Nuno-Whelan seems to be more interested in bringing some excitement to the brand. Nuño-Whelan told Automotive News that he plans "to take the brand in a little more emotional and exciting direction," in fact.
Lincoln has grown its sales for three consecutive years now, but dealers are understandably concerned about keeping that streak going following the discontinuation of the brand's second best-selling model, the Corsair. In the short term, Nuño-Whelan said that Lincoln plans compensate by adding new trims to existing models, update its Rejuvenate feature with more themes, and give its customers new ways to personalize their vehicles.

Yes, ice is the worst. Northern Michigan suffered through a catastrophic ice storm last March. We had no power for nine days. Thankfully we had a wood stove to keep the place warm. I hope you guys escape the worst.
Atlanta expecting a major ice storm. 100 times worse than snow. Expecting widespread power outages. Probably should have installed that whole house generator.
