I can’t wait until the little one is behind the wheel!

[@nathanielmoran8537]

That did not say $60,000, right? That’s a joke. I like Lincoln but that is crazy. Then again, I work at a Nissan dealership and I never thought we would see the day when Rogues are selling for $45,000.

[@marcusjcalloway]

precisely!

[@naveenthemachine]

You can spend 60k and get a much worse car than the Corsair

[@ricbrown5002]

But you don't have to spend that this is with every option, 11k package

[@CraigNelson-gw6jw]

Nissan isn't giving all those luxury features. It's worth 15k more than a basic as Rouge

[@courtneyreed5796]

Great review! I was very excited to see you guys on my timeline today!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Fantastic review guys!!!

[@ghadas3666]

It is a very nice car, I was waiting for your review. Thank you Did anyone had major mechanical problems in the previous models?

[@preoksaha4504]

There is a recall 😂 I’m dead. Great review as always!

[@slighwentwalking2024]

That looks like a great road trip car. Comfortable ride...useful features..elegant style. Its in the same ball park with the GV70...thats a nice park.

[@hubbards98]

I bought a Lincoln Corsair reserve 2023 white black out version because of you & I love it & I've never bought a Ford company vehicle...ever

[@joshuaenyart5570]

While I was looking at a lot of different vehicles the other day I came across one of these and it did not feel anything like an escape! I think this was Lincoln's best job of actually improving a Ford

[@robertlandry5676]

Gotta Love a Lincoln

[@DABardx]

What's the trader Joe's screaming guy backstory? Lol

[@Parker53151]

The ride to Depreciation City will be quiet and comfortable. But you’ll arrive there for certain.

[@matthewbryant3700]

Lincoln depreciation is horrible! Not worth the cost. We bought a nautilus certified pre owned and it has dropped 8.5k in less than a year.

[@marcusjcalloway]

I wasnt a lincoln fan until I started working at a used car dealership. The seats, the ride...all very comfortable. But $60k...no way! But I only buy used cars so there's that!

[@kedduff1814]

Love the family reviews

[@weirdshibainu]

I'm going to use Smudge Buddies at the office Monday morning. I'll work it into every conversation. I expect I'll be talking to Human Resources in the afternoon.

[@lucasl.5084]

Nice shirt!

[@tomwebber9377]

Interesting that the base price is $38k, but as tested is $60k. Apparently you get the shell for the base price and add things like seats etc. as a build option. In these times, it's all too normal for $60k to be the price of a 'mid-level' car. How sad. I'll be keeping my 2018 Clarity for quite a long time. Micah is so handsome.

[@gruppefbc]

Henceforth, "Smudge Buddies" has been adopted into my vocabulary to be used at every opportunity

[@MicahMuzio]

That's going to be tough to explain but I LOVE your commitment to the phrase!!

[@anaveragehuman2937]

the googly eyes on the $11k package was a nice touch :)

[@hereigoagain5050]

Great review. Love the Corsair, except the price. Seems a lot for a gussied-up Escape: the base Cosair is a $10K bump over the Escape Platinum. I'd want a RWD architecture in a luxury CUV.

[@naveenthemachine]

Well the nx is just a gussied up rav4 / Camry At least the Lincoln doesn’t look like a ford outside inside and doesn’t use base engines from the escape

[@sentryion3106]

Not too bad considered the middle trim max out is cheaper than the max out 2.5l gv70. Then again that thing still looks more luxurious and has 50hp more

[@dmegahan]

Looks good. Seems nothing really like an escape. Compelling and prices well within its competition. Just wish you could buy blue cruise separate.

[@sirfriendzone1228]

Seems expensive until I actually priced the one that I wanted. If I take out all but the essentials... at the dealerships they're under 50 grand with all-wheel drive right now. 🤔

[@JustChillingNahhhhMean]

Good looking suv

[@DJL78]

Interesting. I always viewed these as the one people bought when their Infiniti dealership went out of business.

[@NileshR12]

I don't understand why they got rid of the tune knob. It looks so asymmetrical without the tune knob. It's bad enough they got rid of the HVAC buttons & knobs, including the buttons for the heated & ventilated front seats & heated steering wheel which should've stayed physical buttons. They used to have beautiful physical HVAC buttons & air speed knob which they completely eliminated. They could've kept the heated & ventilated front seats & heated steering wheel in 1 row below the audio controls

[@whitetrashmillionare4858]

That's the biggest reason I'm buying out the lease on my 2021 Corsair instead of leasing the 2024

[@66skate]

I like the Corsair, but it's a little smaller than what I want. I'm waiting to see the new Nautilus. Lincoln appears to have dropped the Ebony/Cashew interior, in the Corsair so that takes that off my list.

[@JohnDenverntman68]

No mention of the Volvo XC60 as a competitor?

[@shawntap1333]

I have the 2021 reserve, and it has leak issues, body feels flimsy and infotainment issues over time..hopefully they fix those problems but for the price I paid I wouldn't get another Ford/lincoln not as reliable as the one's our grandparents had

[@dogdoc1]

It is indeed an attractive vehicle.

[@tkewrestler2662]

60,000 is a high price, but I have a notion there is some negotiation space there.

[@Randy-st9lb]

i know its a family show but… i see why Evie loves Micah 👀

[@zekew7546]

IHS using an older Escape to crash test is weird, but Corsair is based on Escape’s substructure, so …

[@lego4virgo]

Ford/Lincoln may not have changed the vehicle structure too much between 2020 and 2023, but I still think IIHS should test it, in case something has changed.

[@dmegahan]

The weird part is that it wasn’t the crashing itself that limited its crash rating. It was headlights and safety features that are very much different compared to a 2021 escape. The crash portions were all good.

[@gene978]

I really Needed that Laughter Kiddo 😂 “Stop being HOT, and COLD!” EDIT: Sweetie just said “the upper center console is so soft you can put Jewelry in it” That made me 😂

[@leoesposito8762]

looks very nice but i don't know if its worth $60 thousand $50 would be more appropriate i think..

[@TheSlugger76]

Great looking car. But I don’t like the turbo engine. Your daughter is getting big fast.

[@hereigoagain5050]

That happens if you feed them! :)

[@RUSH__fan]

Clearly no one at Lincoln is aware that there is a product called astroglide. I also didn't see a laser sword compartment, staying with the star wars references.

[@66skate]

Maybe they are. It's now called Blue Cruise, same as Ford. And perhaps, your hearing is a bit off. The Lincoln self driving feature is "Active Glide", not Astroglide as in that product you're thinking about.

[@RRLV434]

For 38k it’s a good car but for 60k you can get so much better.

[@naveenthemachine]

No you can do worse for 60k

[@weirdshibainu]

There's nothing in this class for 38k

[@naveenthemachine]

@@weirdshibainu Rdx? Cx5? Tuscon? Sportage? Sorento? Santa Fe?

[@weirdshibainu]

@@naveenthemachine Nope.....

[@naveenthemachine]

@@weirdshibainu really? None of these? Ooh I forgot the cx50

[@kgb4187]

Apparently I'm old now. Back in my day $60,000 got you a full size Navigator and not a compact option.

[@66skate]

I must be too. I remember when you got change back from a dollar at McDonalds. Now, the same meal costs $12.

[@Freddie-gv1yg]

It got you a Lincoln Town Car fully loaded for probably less than 60,000.

[@danielmelendez9943]

Lincoln corsair will no longer be made after 2025, or at least those are the plans announced by Lincoln-Mercury.

[@nateisright]

Mercury? 😂

[@danielmelendez9943]

@@nateisright that’s exactly the same reaction i had.

[@66skate]

True at least for Escape. Not sure about Corsair. It's been a looooong time since they were were Lincoln-Mercury, since it's been about 10 years since Mercury was discontinued.

[@louly3212]

unfortunatly they didnt mention how soft the suspension compard to other brands, its supposed to be the most comfortable brand lincoln... the mkc literally floated ..up and down, in comfort mode lol

[@matthewbryant3700]

I have a nautilus and it rides horribly! Maybe something is wrong but lincoln dealers are garbage. Only one out of all the dealers in my state is actually slightly luxurious looking. But their attitude and quality of treatment is lacking. The other dealers look like a cheap sleezy car lot with people smoking out front. Disgusting! Not worth the price. Concierge is a joke and won't do anything if the dealers don't care.

[@louly3212]

@@matthewbryant3700 sounds like you need to contact main company.. theyll take care of it quick too. so it rides horribly and the dealers wont do anything about it? ive never heard or could imagine tht, unless youre a nut like the situation sounds like.

volvo xc90 wow :)

[@witsendcottage595]

Good looking car but pricey for sure

[@naveenthemachine]

But it’s worth it. For the price you can do so much worse

[@danielmelendez9943]

Who be crazy to even spend over $45k on a Lincoln, no way insane. I am surprised you guys even review it knowing your chanel. I dont buy American cars, i stick to Japanese cars for now. I am not even sure if this car could be reliable, since Lincoln is basically removing it from their line up.

[@naveenthemachine]

At least this is a much nicer and better vehicle than the Lexus nx or Infiniti qx50 qx55

[@ontarioman6301]

Has a real transmission too.

[@naveenthemachine]

@@ontarioman6301 that too and the Corsair looks way better outside and inside has more space more trunk space and it handles as well and rides better than the nx

[@3joewj]

Lincolns are nicer inside than bmw and lexus and acura. Just saying...I looked at it in person.

[@TalismanPHX]

Is that a typographical error? $60 grand for a Corsair/Escape???

[@naveenthemachine]

That’s no different than spending 60k for the nx which is just a RAV4 / lifted camry underneath

[@ricbrown5002]

@naveenthemachine thank you 🙏 folks just don't understand that their oh so holy Toyota not rebadge engineed with a nicer interior.

[@66skate]

Sounds like you haven't been car shopping for a few years.

[@mikescott6097]

I agree about infiniti but this is not better than the NX... sorry. The new nx is quite nice

[@naveenthemachine]

Wrong. The corsair is miles ahead of the nx and even the RX tbh

[@jeffreyerickson6766]

For that price I could get a new V8 Lexus GX !!

[@chrisa.8175]

No way!! Genesis always ♥️

[@naveenthemachine]

But the Corsair is way better than anything Lexus makes

[@naveenthemachine]

But this is better than anything Lexus has

[@courtneyreed5796]

Wee!! lol

[@levigato125]

It’s a good looking car but $60K? Hell no.

[@naveenthemachine]

Nah it’s worth it. You can do worse for 60k

[@matthewbryant3700]

Lincoln is a joke of a company. Their dealers are not luxurious in look or character. They are basically a turd wrapped in a pretty box. Depreciation will destroy your valuation also. In less than a year, I lost over 8.5k. And my ride is loud and bouncy and hard hitting (they basically made the worst of both worlds). I drive a nautilus.
