Just to clarify, Android Auto is separate from the Google based digital experience.  I don't have to enable Android auto in our 24 Nautilus and the car is perfectly happy.  I believe what the OP is having an issue with, and although I haven't tried it myself, is that the digital experience probably does not have a built in media player, thus why it keeps asking for YouTube Music to be installed.  It might also work with another compatible media player.  The built in voice commands are not necessarily the same on the 24+ Nautilus and other new vehicles with this system.  I haven't played with it, as it is my wife's daily, I just drive on road trips and for service.

I saw this the other day when I was trying to find if anything was going to the Cleveland Engine plant hybrid wise   Local leaders say Ford to pivot production, delay timeline at Ohio Assembly Plant    

Someone with some quick photoshop skills could solve that 😉

Skylands, if true, could be Lincolns version of Volvo’s cross country. That could be a really neat trim level. 

Jaguar was always my favorite brand, I had hope for this car but this isn’t it. I don’t want brutalist design for a luxury car. I think, sadly, this will be the end of the road for them. I’m assuming the Type 02 is already being developed with the same style in mind. I’m sure there will be some that like this but not enough to keep them afloat. 

Amid Incoming Ford Bronco Based SUV, Luxury Shoppers Say Lincoln Is Rugged   In the H1 2026 Kelley Blue Book Brand Watch Report, Lincoln owners ranked that brand tops among all of its premium peers in terms of driving comfort, affordability, and interior layout, second in exterior styling and ruggedness, and third when it comes to durability, in fact.       --- I guess it's a broad styling and ruggedness category, but I wouldn't consider Lincoln "rugged" except maybe Navigator.   I'll be interested to see if that "Skylands" trim (reportedly an offroad-oriented package for Lincoln) turns into anything, and how it'd apply to the more slick models like Nautilus, Corsair, and Aviator.

Yes.....it's just you lol.   And yes, it was posted a couple months ago originally with additional details recently....   IIRC, JLR is swapped engines a few years back (the last connection I think), so there aren't really any Ford ties anymore.....could be wrong on that, though.

Ford Bronco Pickup Rumored As Next Big Step For Bronco   I find these renderings of the Bronco pickup with the roll cage extending into the bed funny.....     Yes, they'd totally have the rollcage take up half the bed, and leave the spare tire on the tailgate......

Wasn't sure where to throw this....   The US Might Be About To Cut Canadian Auto Tariffs | Carscoops A new trade deal being finalized between the United States and Canada may see tariffs on vehicles built in Canada cut from 25 percent to 15 percent, a change which will no doubt have a big impact on the country’s auto sector. Perhaps of equal importance to the potential lower tariffs for Canadian cars would be a reduction in tariffs on steel and aluminum from 50 percent to 25 percent. It’s understood that the lower tariff would apply to up to 4 million metric tons of steel and aluminum per year, and that imports beyond this level will continue to be subject to the 50 percent rate.   ---     Also, I think we knew this, with that van becoming whatever's going to OHAP (Transit Custom?)......odd that they haven't mentioned this other product    Ford Maverick Based Van Scrapped For Affordable Crossover According to the latest Automotive News future product report, the Maverick-based van has now been canceled, and it will instead be replaced by a new crossover with a $25k starting price tag - one that reportedly looks like the first-generation Ford Escape in many ways. As Ford Authority previously reported, this new crossover is slated to launch in 2029 with a starting price tag of around $25,000, and it will reportedly be offered in both traditional gas and hybrid form. The new crossover - like the now-discontinued small van - is expected to be produced alongside the Ford Bronco Sport and Maverick at the Hermosillo Assembly plant in Mexico, meaning that it will likely also be underpinned by the C2 platform shared by those models.

My bad....yes, Nautilus.....long day yesterday.
