I came very close to ordering a new Corsair myself...except that the quality control at the Lincoln plants has not kept up with the improvements of the vehicles themselves.

I like the design of the Corsair, but I came away unimpressed by the interior materials. A lot of cheap plastics that didn't seem any better than it's Escape cousin. I also didn't like the door handles, also felt a bit on the cost cutting side. It drove fine though.

Here's a good video showing some close-ups. Beautiful car inside and out, but I can't get over those rubber-band tires......and they might (?) have overdone the dash-screens a little.

I think this would sell here, as there are still Ford loyalists (and others) who would rather have a sedan than an SUV/Truck, and currently FoMoCo has no sedan available in our market.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to put screen across the entire dash... MB came close, but this takes the cake.

While these don't stretch across the entire dash like MB or Lincoln Zephyr, the Ferrari Roma and Jeep Grand Wagoneer have also done screens on the passenger side

This is actually quite impressive and would give the ES more than a run for its money.
