Thanks for pointing that out, I didn’t notice that at first, seems like a cheap way to save some  money. Maybe I’ll hang on to my 2024 for a couple more years. 

Not true at all.  Do a short press of the voice button to access native sync voice commands or a long press to access your phone assistant (siri or google) while using carplay or android auto.  Operator error.

I just moved up from a 2020 Ford Escape to a 2026 Lincoln, and I am appalled that you have removed any and ALL ability to use Voice Commands for hands-free interaction with media files (music) through the infotainment system.  NOTHING is available for voice control with media files stored on a USB memory device, nor any media files stored on a phone and accessed locally through any app via Android Auto.  This problem is especially egregious when I note that the Sync3 system in my 2020 Ford allowed hands-free control of all media perfectly, and now you have removed it from your "Luxury" brand?????   You have also taken away all knobs and buttons to use when interacting with the music system, thus forcing the driver to divert all attention from the road just to try and find/use the disgusting little touchscreen controls.  Shame on me for not properly testing this before I bought this crippled car - had I know of this massive safety problem, I would NOT have given you my business.  But I couldn't imagine that you would REMOVE critical safety features on newer models.   You MUST be able to see what a HUGE safety problem this is, so why did you do it?.

Prescott, Wi: We shot up 30-54¢ per gallon for 87E10 in one swoop yesterday. 😳 Marathon hasn't raised theirs yet as of this morning,

Yep.  I'm starting to think Corsair goes to UEV while Nautilus moves to Cd6 along with the Mustang CUV.

Usually 2-3 weeks but it can take a lot longer depending on transport issues.

Nope

So my Ford email says my truck is scheduled for Sept 8, 2026.   My question is how long till it gets to Connecticut as the App says "Estimated Drive Date Nov 2026".   I don't think my 2022 took only 3 weeks to get out of Kentucky?  Any thoughts?

Well 6,000 followers might only be the number of people who are interested in this car.  That smartphone thing in the console is hardly, "technology seamlessly integrated into an entirely new Jaguar experience."    

https://fordauthority.com/2026/08/ford-ceo-jim-farley-hints-at-major-change-for-lincoln-nautilus/   I wonder what the change could be? I can only see UEV or CD6 being the major change.
