Future Ford EVs "Deep Into Development," Will Use Smaller BatteriesI agree wholeheartedly.
Speaking as a guy who is currently on his 5th consecutive new Lincoln, I regret to say there will not be a 6th consecutive new Lincoln for me. That disappoints me immensely but the reason is that Lincoln has driven me away with its feature-packaging choices.
I want a 2023 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring PHEV, I really do, but Lincoln insists that I must accept an all-glass roof (the Panoramic Vista Roof) on even the base-level Grand Touring Corsair.
I'm not cheap. The glass roof is not a cost issue for me. It's an issue of living where there are lots of strong thunderstorms with occasionally large hail. (My MKS took at absolute beating from a big hailstorm a few years ago, and I'm lucky that my current MKZ-h just avoided a similar hail-beating last year.)
I would happily buy a PHEV Corsair with pretty much all the "bells and whistles" (HUD, super adjustable seats, navigation, super duper audio, massaging seats, etc.) but not if it means I have to accept that stupid all-glass roof.
I ended up ordering a 2023 Ford Escape PHEV last month, even though it's not what I really want (I want a Grand Touring Corsair), but on the Escape, you can add all the options you want while the "panoramic" roof/all-glass roof remains an option that one can skip--which I did.
Even on the next-lower Corsair, the Reserve, the all-glass roof becomes a mandatory included item if you want the top-flight audio system and the HUD.
Lincoln lost me as a customer because of this. ☹️Mon, 06 Feb 2023 19:31:34 +0000
