Amazing how much better Lincoln is compared to Cadillac. They quickly understood how to distinguish and make luxury unlike GM/Chevy/Cadillac part bin cars
I would say Caddy is not sharing as bad as Lincoln in new CT5 and previous CTS. Caddy has nothing related to any other GM. Lincoln has shit MKZ and Continental which is shitty FWD.
Five years ago i didnt even think about lincoln as a choice. I even laughed @ them when they call them selves "luxury brand". I aint laughing no more, im proudly buying a lincoln soon. Well done
@@TheWarpYoshimitsu I have a Lincoln MKT (I know one of the ugliest cars ever made) but it has everything on it and it is larger inside and was less expensive than an Explorer Sport with the same engine. It was a bang for the buck purchase. Best car and fastest car I've ever owned. A real sleeper.
@@radlink14 Yes it's the 3.5 liter twin turbo. All the reviews have the prior engine tested. I came across a manufacturers spec sheet on the 0-60 with the more powerful engine. I can blow away BMW's.
I like that Lincoln is going back to names instead of letters or numbers. Also, this one looks beautiful, very elegant. A comparison with the Cadillac XT4 is a must.
It always annoys me when people / journalists want to put out plastic trim pieces in Cadillacs / Lincolns, as if that $40,000 BMW doesn't have its own fair share of Rubbermaid, or as if that Audi isn't 50% plastic in its glorified Volkswagen interior. You never hear them put the plastic pieces in German cars out; bias much?
Exactly! The fact that he keep mentioning a platform mate of the Lincoln but would never say that about an Audi A4 or Q5 when it's based on VWs new platform.
Same with Lexus, Infiniti, Acura all based on Toyotas, Nissans and Hondas but they much less frequently have to constantly point it out in reviews. Same with hard plastics in those brands. There are cheap hard plastics throughout Honda and Toyota vehicles and their upper crust cousins. I've sat in many of them at car shows and observed it first hand but these makes always get a pass.
I'm not an SUV guy at all but have to say that Lincoln has a couple of nice ones with the Corsair and Aviator. From the side this has more of car-like (WAGON!) profile, especially in the front fender area. Looking a lot better than that XT4 and XT6 from Cadillac.
Lincoln has really did a 180, now when will Acura get on board and ditch the crap cars with the stupid letters and get back to their roots of the Legend, Integra, Vigor etc!!
@@BartlettRacing66 I'm going to say Lexus, that styling instantly throws any redeeming qualities they have out the window. Same applies to Toyota, Lexus's parent company, they just aren't that good.
Acura should not bring back those names until they design cars that are WORTHY of those names! The TL is the only good sedan they have built since the Legend. The TLX? Meh. The ILX? That thing is the biggest P.O.S. in the segment.
Acc0rd79 The Acura RLX = Honda Legend. The Acura Integra is likely not coming back anytime soon especially since there is a Honda Civic Type R available worldwide. The Acura Vigor was a POS and not memorable at all either.
@@MitsuFQ400 they did. When BMW bought the Rover group in 1994, they split Land Rover from Rover, then sold Land Rover to Ford in 2000.

Wow, 10-15 years ago, Ford and Lincoln were both kinda considered jokes, now, Ford is considered one of the best all around mainstream brands and Lincoln has become a more critically aclaimed luxury brand.
They still are considered jokes... And Lincoln is not a luxury brand, more like a "premium" brand like Infiniti, with possibly even more shittty resale value.
@@isaacstacoify Lincoln is a luxury brand. They're a class above Infiniti or any of the Japanese luxury brands. Neither Ford nor (especially) Lincoln are jokes to anyone who keeps up with cars.
@@isaacstacoify They aren't jokes to anyone who keeps up with car brands. The people who call ford's unreliable are likely the same type of people who say kias are reliable and assume all Japanese brands are reliable, just because Toyotas are.
@guy proulx Dude, Consumer Reports and JD power are both terrible. For a few reasons,one, they basically provide the same rating weight for like small electronic issues as they do for massive power train issues, meaning a car with 500 infotainment issues will be given the same reliability rating as a car with 500 reports of transmission failure, that's not ideal. Secondly, they don't do quantity based reliability reporting. If there are a thousand people having a certain issue, it's kinda important to know if this is with something like a camry or f-150 where we're talking about 1,000 reported issues out if two million cars, or if we're talking about a 1,000 issues out of 10k cars. On top of this, reliability rankings from different sources often vary quite a bit, with the only difference being that Toyota is usually near the top, basically everything else varies. So that helps to illustrate how unreliable reliability surveys are. But, if you do care about Consumer Reports, then take a look at their latest list of the top 10 least reliable cars, there are no fords, there are two Hondas.
I'd like one in blue ...Navy Blue and maybe they should state that the vehicle is named after the famed WWII era F4 Corsair, also Navy Blue. It worked for the P51 "Mustang" ; )
That is a BEAUTIFUL interior! Next Level! I never hated the Ford+ formula for Lincoln, but this bigger differentiation is a big positive. Especially for the badge conscious
I just purschased the Corsair last week. I just felt it was much nicer then the Lexus Brand. I did not compare Cadillac as I had such bad experience with them years ago. I just cannot go back to them. I'm very happy so far with it. Lincoln has won me over
I've been driving Lincoln's for years now and currently drive a 2019 Nautilus Reserve. Unfortunately they are getting to be too pricey unless you go for the stripped down base model which defeats the purpose of driving a luxury car. I was excited about the Aviator until I saw the price. Being an American, I buy American brand cars, but the Hyundais and Kias are starting to look better and better.
I like it. I think basing it off the aviator is a very good idea. However, I do worry about the price. I just hope it doesn't get as expensive as a xt4.
Originally, Ford Motor Company used the Corsair name on the ill fated Edsel. Still, it's a good name and I guess that only classic car buffs might recall the Edsel connection.
I really hate the push to talk location. I can see myself accidentally hitting it all the time. Would be mice to have it a little more out of the way such as at the standard 9 o clock position
Hmm... the steering wheel in the Corsair is identical to the one they're putting into the Lincoln Aviator. We will see later on whether the location of the voice recognition button at 10 o'clock is a good or a bad thing.
The sooner these reviewers stop being obsessed by comprrting every new Lincoln to a Ford, the quicker the driving public will take a look! The whole "hard plastic" thing is getting old too. Who doesn't use it in these pieces ranges.
Well Ford has designed a lot of JLR vehicles...JLR even uses a supercharged version of the coyote V8...The Evoque and E-Pace are on a modified D3 chassis
First Ford vehicle named "Corsair" since the 1958 Edsel. Edmunds: Shills for the auto industry; no longer publish dealer cost. Instead, they link visitors to local auto dealers. So... we arrive at the dealer with absolutely NO clue as to what we should be paying. KBB is the same. And the other "Save Money on Your Next Car" sites are just as useless.
Leave it to Lincoln to make the optional engine the same as the new Ranger. You would think it would have chosen something a little more special for a Lincoln.
Not really they invested where it counts. They're being smart, instead of investing in exotic engines, they're doubling down on high end interiors, captivating exterior, decent tech, and decent quality.
You can tell that Edmunds is still paid mightily by the Germans. Tired of hearing about hard plastic or Escape. Last I checked the top dog Q5 has fake dual tailpipes.
Wow. transverse-FWD platform or not, Lincoln knocked this one out of the park. This Corsair looks at least as nice as the X3, GLC-Class, Q5, and XC60 (which itself is on a transverse-FWD platform). And it's certainly nicer than the also-ran XT4, the underwhelming (from a fit-and-finish standpoint) Stelvio, the not-quite QX50, and the very-dated NX. And it's more put-together than the disjointed RDX. I will excuse the Discovery Sport for not being all that "nice", because it is deliberately utility-oriented, and I have not yet seen the 2020 Range Rover Evoque to make a judgment on that one. Best of all, this Corsair looks distinctly American, and not at all like it's trying to ape the Germans (again, see Cadillac). If handling and comfort live up to the styling, then this will be a sure thing. Combined with the Navigator, Aviator, and refreshed Nautilus (previously MKX), I wouldn't be surprised if Lincoln makes it back into the forefront of "desirable luxury" in the next few years.
Yeah, I don't quite know why Genesis is building all of these sedans (that no one is buying) when a crossover is a better bet. I believe their next model is supposed to be a RWD-based crossover.
This SUV, looks promising, however who ever came up with this name, deserves a demotion. 1. The interior is a winner 2. The panoramic Moonroof is nice. 3. The leather inside looks like its finally something to write home about. 4. The Tech has improved. The price is really whats going to decide weather this is a hit or not, also the lease factors, These guys don't seem yet to understand that they are not on most shopping lists. And the only way your going to get people behind the wheel of these cars is attractive lease rates thru out the line. They always shoot themselves in the foot.
Well, the problem is that BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Lexus can offer better lease deals because of the fact that their cars historically command higher resale values at the end. I agree that Lincoln will have to be more competitive in the future, even if it does mean surrendering some short-term profits. Because now they're at the point where they can be serious contenders and earn repeat customers...if they just get them through the door. Also, standalone dealerships are nice.
@@kyrees.williams869 I disagree with the "higher resale values" however i will say this about the German brands from personal experience: 1. They invest in their luxury brands and understand consistency & refinement. 2. They have a great reputation (American luxury brands do not, they change with the weather) 3. German brands understand the concept of longevity (look at the 3,4,5 series, BMW, and the A, C, E Class MB, etc. (continuity is important) 4. German brands i feel do reward their lease base, they know the money is in the Service Dept. These short term vehicles that Cadillac, and Lincoln brands they erect and destroy, reflects their lack of commitment to their customers and themselves. Which undermines the confidence of their american customer buyer. Thats why BMW, Audi, And MBZ never see the cadillacs or Lincoln of the world seriously. Im always pulling for the home team, however the home team still has not learned their lesson. The automotive bail out came to them on a silver platter. Yes i know about FMC.
Exterior and interior is great but I am so sick and tired of all these 4 cyl engines. I am not paying 40k - 70k to drive an elegant suv with a Focus engine in it. Please stop taking away V6 options.... bad enough you can hardly find a V8.
@@grahamcobb9607 Why not a V6? My point is everything shouldn't have a 2.0T 4cyl. That belongs in a Corolla or a Focus or a Civic or a C Series little car. I hate driving an 4K + lb vehicle with a little struggling engine pushed to its max ability.
@@Shelby-Ecoboost-Raptor-550hp What does this have to do with the size of the engine? I have a preference and I hate driving big cars or SUVs with small engines. I like many people want the option of more than one engine.
Why are they still making ICE engine SUVs? Lincoln will die soon. Jaguar, Volvo, BMW, Tesla, Audi all have fully electric SUVs available/releasing in next few months
@@balboa-capital Yeah. And Ford/Lincoln obviously decided it wasn't worth the money. In any case, there is some talk about Ford and VW merging, pardon me, "collaborating," in the next few years (which, if it happens, will effectively be a VW takeover). Most of the SUV's you mentioned, incidentally, cost twice as much as this Corsair.
@@MaestroTJS They do cost more, but that is not stopping sales. Access to easy credit and EV rebates are also variables. The appeal of quiet electric and not having to "fill up" traditionally, seems to be catching more and more buyers. I'm genuinely concerned for the big 3 as their infrastructure is way behind for this new tech. I used to work in auto Detroit, and now work in auto Cali, and it is night and day.
@@Chrisp707- Not sure I can come up with any brand that has one, but it's kinda late and I'm not putting too my energy into it. Unfortunately for you, RWD on compact crossovers isn't really a thing.

@@grahamcobb9607 Why not a V6? My point is everything shouldn't have a 2.0T 4cyl. That belongs in a Corolla or a Focus or a Civic or a C Series little car. I hate driving an 4K + lb vehicle with a little struggling engine pushed to its max ability.
I bet you can't tell us what makes Ford's Ecoboost technology different from other Turbocharged Engines
@@Shelby-Ecoboost-Raptor-550hp What does this have to do with the size of the engine? I have a preference and I hate driving big cars or SUVs with small engines. I like many people want the option of more than one engine.
@@truthis_truthdoesntmatter - why don't you just buy a Toyota or a Cadillac, that's what most people do anyway
Ford escape,Ford escape,Ford escape,....we get it Ford is the owner of Lincoln.
Evoquesque
I would still buy the Range Rover Evoque.
F4U
4 banger on a lucury car lol pass!
Tell that to Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volvo and Jaguar
I have and i will and ppl are dumb to german car in general!!
Wake up. It's not 1982 and four bangers have 110 hp and 100 torque. 280 hp and 300 torque. Why would you need a v8
Graham Cobb wake up a v8 is still faster and outlast ur turboed high stressed engine, and will sound better while their at it.
employing Ford's excellent Ecoboost technology, and their new 8-speed, after rejecting GM's 9-speed
It's a rip off Range Rover.
Why are they still making ICE engine SUVs? Lincoln will die soon. Jaguar, Volvo, BMW, Tesla, Audi all have fully electric SUVs available/releasing in next few months
Fully electric SUV's...that practically no one will buy anyway. But hey, it sure SOUNDS great....
@@MaestroTJS look at the sales numbers and trends
@@balboa-capital Yeah. And Ford/Lincoln obviously decided it wasn't worth the money. In any case, there is some talk about Ford and VW merging, pardon me, "collaborating," in the next few years (which, if it happens, will effectively be a VW takeover). Most of the SUV's you mentioned, incidentally, cost twice as much as this Corsair.
@@MaestroTJS They do cost more, but that is not stopping sales. Access to easy credit and EV rebates are also variables. The appeal of quiet electric and not having to "fill up" traditionally, seems to be catching more and more buyers. I'm genuinely concerned for the big 3 as their infrastructure is way behind for this new tech. I used to work in auto Detroit, and now work in auto Cali, and it is night and day.
Jesus the MKC was better sad
A 4 banger? Pathetic!!
Welcome to the modern era!
I can get over a 4 banger my problem is that it's FWD
@@Chrisp707- there is the aviator and the navigator for you which are rwd based.
@@sdk1991zzang true but what if you want a smaller k e but don't want anything fwd based
@@Chrisp707- Not sure I can come up with any brand that has one, but it's kinda late and I'm not putting too my energy into it. Unfortunately for you, RWD on compact crossovers isn't really a thing.
A Ford is still a Ford. No matter what You call it. It is a rolling rubber maid plastic banana. Crap still selling crap
^Hey look gang, it's an idiot^
Fucking idiot is Lexus still a fucking Toyota or Rolls Royce a 500k BMW
Still not as good as Tesla😕🤣
Fwd in a luxury crossover 🤮🤮
It's for people who can't afford a proper rwd aviator/navigator but still want a luxury experience not ass broke ass niga from ghetto like you teehee
@@muchaho8378 bit disrespectful but no use in wasting time on ignorant fools who dare judge people they know nothing of.
@@Brian-jv8iy I know but it's still just 🤮
the 2.3L only comes in an AWD
@@Shelby-Ecoboost-Raptor-550hp but it's still fwd based.
