With the political climate in the US, i wouldn't be surprised if they didn't make an announcement at all. They could just start selling the product and keep a low visibility on the news cycle. 

When I brought my Maverick in for service, they offered me a ride back home and the vehicle they used was a 2026 Nautilus hybrid....I will say it was definitely a nicely appointed vehicle. 

I don't like that nautilus is made in China  but if we had to replace our 22 it would probably be a 26 or 27 black label.

I think it looks good. It’s probably my second favorite grille behind the wildtrak. It’s disappointing that it still has sync 4.

Yes, I read that...I'll go with the "unofficial" announcement until the "official" Lincoln one comes out...Nautilus sales prove that your average Lincoln customer does not give a crap where it's built. 

Uh.....guess you didn't read the post.   I said:         Until they make an official announcement, it's not something we can fully count on (and even that can be pulled back, as we've seen with Ford).  With Corsair inventory so low, it's surprising they haven't made a move already to disrupt sales as little as possible.  Unless they start producing and shipping right away (somewhat plausible since they've been making it in China for a few years already), there's going to be a sales gap for at least a few months.

https://fordauthority.com/2026/04/ford-escape-inventory-continued-to-thin-out-in-march-2026/ Lincoln Corsair: Here's How Many Were Left In March 2026       Looks like about 16,900 Escapes and 3,100 Corsairs out there still.  I'm surprised they haven't announced the Chinese Corsair yet if that's the plan....   ----   Maverick hybrid about 50% of sales mix:   Ford Maverick Hybrid Sales Mix For Q1 2026 Revealed     The Maverick Hybrid accounted for 17,050 of those sales, meaning that it commanded a roughly 50.4 percent mix.     

Yeah, I think this discussion definitely depends on where people live.  In a more condensed city, sure a truck will be harder to park, but in a medium sized city it's not a big deal.   I learned how to drive in an Expedition, and will drive my dad's Raptor on occasion, so bigger vehicles aren't an issue for me, and you'll get more used to your vehicle over time.   It always amuses me when you see people in their Fiestas and Smart cars that have to do an 87 point turn to get in a parking space with nobody next to them.
