  1. I concur with the previous posts regarding the MKC’s THX system. It’s very good. The Revel Ultima system in the MKZ is outstanding and well worth the investment for audiophiles. Quality digital files on USB or Bluetooth are excellent, as is Apple CarPlay. I’m pleased to see that Revel has been made available on the Corsair.
  2. I was really happy with my ‘15 MKC. Had I been able to postpone my current purchase until the Corsair became available, I’d have done so. I’m impressed with the interior redesign and my wishlist items (24-way seats, surround-view camera, Revel sound system, 8-speed trans, expanded rear legroom) all came true with the Corsair. A little disappointed that Black Label has been dropped but the Beyond Blue Reserve group is intriguing. Curious to see if there will be additional appearance packages available. If I ever tire of my MKZ, the Corsair is definitely on my list.
  3. White Platinum is still an option. The Ceramic Pearl really goes well with the gray rocker, wheel arch and bumper cladding. Very subtle and with less contrast than WP.
  4. Thanks, Allen! It’s Ceramic Pearl and has quite a gray cast. Seems to look different in varying light sources. I haven’t seen it in bright sun yet. Should bring out more of the pearlescent quality.
  5. With no word on why my father’s ordered Nautilus has been sitting in NoCal since before Thanksgiving; the dealer found a similarly equipped Reserve in Los Angeles. The biggest differences are that it is a 2.0L, not the 2.7L as ordered (and that he previously had in his ‘16 MKX) and the interior is Cappuccino, not Ebony. The alternative vehicle was transported on Saturday and he’s taking delivery today.
  6. Anybody hear anything about delivery holds on Nautilus? Dealer is telling my father that his vehicle is in Petaluma, CA (and has been since before Thanksgiving) but Ford has put a hold on Nautilus and won’t share why, so no explanation for the delay.
  7. Dealership updated my father yesterday on his Nautilus Reserve order. ETA has been pushed from October to November 23. He’s going to have to extend his current ‘16 MKX lease for a second time and has now also had to pay its 2019 CA registration renewal. C’est la vie.
  8. Congratulations! My father just ordered his fourth iteration of the (former) MKX yesterday - a 2019 Nautilus Reserve - FWD 2.7L in Ceramic Pearl and Ebony, Cargo Utility, Driver Assistance and Tech packages. He obviously loves this vehicle and is pretty excited about the 2019 updates vs his 2016 Ruby Red Reserve 2.7L.
  9. I got to test drive a preproduction 2.0L AWD MKC a couple of weeks ago and was VERY impressed. I've pretty much decided to order one later this year. Waiting to compare the 2.0L with the 2.3L but I'm leaning toward more power is always preferable and the fuel economy tradeoff is negligible for AWD models with CCD.
  10. Thanks for posting. I replied in your new topic in the Lincoln section.
  11. Thank you for sharing this. That's rather discouraging information considering the enthusiastic response the MKC concept received and the positive market trend of smaller near-luxury and luxury crossovers. Coincidentally, Autoblog just posted this item regarding demand for the (IMO unfortunate looking) apparently popular Buick Encore. http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/06/buick-struggling-to-keep-up-with-encore-demand/ I suppose it will eventually boil down to Ford's genuine commitment the success of the Lincoln Motor Company. Half-hearted attempts to reinvent the brand will not suffice. That other GM brand has thrown billions of dollars into years of product development and it's just begun to regain a modicum of respect for its non-halo vehicles. This is not simply a styling effort, its an all-or-nothing proposition for Lincoln.
  12. Thanks, I appreciate the reply. I'm aware that as yet, only a test mule has been seen in public. I'll watch for the guide to show up on BOF as these things usually crop up here first; just thought perhaps I'd missed it or that my search wasn't thorough enough.
  13. Had my '12 Focus serviced yesterday at my local dealership and while I was paying my bill an employee dropped off a document with the cashier to give to another employee. It was clearly marked "2015 Lincoln MKC" and appeared to be a copy of an order guide or something very similar to one. I was dying to get a closer look at it as it lay on the counter just beyond reach. Anyone have an inkling as to when we might see this documentation? I'm really interested in the MKC - would love to be back in a Lincoln again but I don't need a sedan and we don't need an additional MKX in the family.
  14. When the time comes, I'm seriously considering a set of Continental Extreme Contact DW tires to replace the PS3s. Performance is comparable and at an ~$80 per tire price difference, the savings is substantial.
  15. Mine have 11.6K miles on them and they are in superb condition. They've been dealer service rotated twice and I check pressures monthly and maintain the recommended 39 psi. What exactly are your friend's tire issues?
  16. Eureka! I finally got a low fuel warning lamp indication at 41miles DTE.
  17. Remote start (with DCT) and rearview camera standard on '13 Titanium. Nice. Really wish I had the rearview camera; just didn't want to pay for Active Park Assist to get it.
  18. That must be why we've always gotten along so well. <grin>
  19. Actually, I have a bottle of Prestone wiper blade cleaner and conditioner with a slotted sponge that I've been using for years.
  20. I am admittedly afflicted with OCD. lol
  21. One of the first things I noticed was the alarming amount of heavy grit that rapidly accumulates above the rear wiper blade. I lift and dust under it daily as part of my cleaning routine. The windshield wiper blades are nearly as bad and need the same care.
  22. Success! Setting a destination and using route guidance to a destination appears to have resolved the issue. After having arrived at a destination using route guidance, the current street location appeared below the Home screen compass. A power cycle confirmed that the current location text display remains visible on the Home screen.
