Yeah, you can get the price of the Corsair up to $60K. No thanks.

The Corsair, at any price level, is an impressive small luxury-crossover. It was my second choice behind the Encore GX....but the GX's smaller size fit my driving needs better.

It's all relative. At $50K, it's a very attractive option. At $60K, there are far superior options out there.

You could say that for many vehicles today....that the top-trim versions are overpriced. That's not just something you'll find with the Corsair.

This was pretty much my experience. At low $50k it caught my interest, and then when I built one equipped the way I'd want it and found it was right at $60k my interest declined. A lot of sources rank the Corsair as a solid mid-pack entry in the segment. Nothing wrong with that. Just not what I'm looking for.

The roll out of the refreshed '23 had a long delay of about 4 months or so due to an electronic problem that had to be resolved.

Ford/Lincoln, for whatever reason, have reasonably priced vehicles until they start with their upper trims. The Corsair starts out competitive, but then it goes to Reserve/Black Label and is priced the same as larger vehicles from other luxury brands that seem to have basically the same equipment.

I know your affinity for Lincoln products, and I'm glad to just agree to disagree here. For $60K, I'd go with a very well equipped X3, GLC or GV70 without hesitation.

Oh, I was not just referring to Lincoln....I agree that a number of manufacturers have what are overpriced top-trim products.

You may like the CLA, and I respect that, but it has not gotten a lot of good reviews, and a number of those commenting here on Car Chat don't think much of it either.

For my $60k I'd also add the Q5, GLC and RDX to that list.

Looks like an Imperial but don't know the year. I love how the glass is styled.
