I’m not a huge fan (ha!) of the wheel design, but at least it’s distinctive, and maybe has an aero and/or noise consideration as well. The Navigator, Nautilus, Aviator, and Continental all offer simpler wheel designs in various sizes, so no reason for the Corsair to be any different.

It may not be an edgeless/bezel-less screen like a phone. Plus it gives the user a place to rest their hand when using the screen. May also serve other functional purpose like hiding heat vents or other items. It not as egregious as ones that really look like stuck-on tablets like the first CLA/GLA and some of the…

Sloping, not slowing^

I agree it has Range Rover’s slowing roofline, as does the Aviator. The rear more resembles an Audi than anything else. It still feels largely like its own overall design.

Lincoln used the Continental name for decades, so it’s not so much copying as dusting off one of their old names and using it again. Like Corsair, Zephyr, Aviator, etc.

•edit• I got the Aviator & Nautilus mixed up, sorry (it’s early). Nautilus is due for a full replacement soon. Aviator is new and coming soon (but not soon enough, lots of hype for it, relatively speaking).

“Their entire lineup”? Corsair: New. Nautilus: New. Navigator: New. Continental: Due to be replaced with a car on the Mustang/Explorer/Aviator platform. MKZ: Likely being retired soon. MKT: Only kept around because the tooling is paid off and the Nautilus hasn’t hit dealerships yet.

More power than the early-2000s SVT Cobras, great handling, and a fairly reasonable price? I love the 5.0 Coyote, but sign me up for a test drive.

The A-Wing is cool and sleek, and I like how it used its needletip-like shape to puncture the main bridge of Executor (Vader’s Super Star Destroyer).

I was going to say similar, but considering its contemporaries that were direct competitors in the US it was about as hot as we got for the time, but it was a fairly short time when the Mazdaspeed3, Caliber SRT-4, and others hurdled well past the 200hp threshold. Enthusiasts knew about and acknowledged the goodies…

The original SVT Focus came in both 3- and 5-door variants. How quickly we forget. I liked the 5-door more, personally.

Your frustrated friend didn’t have to get red-painted calipers. He could also have them painted a more sedate color. Brightly-painted brake calipers are available on certain models from just about every major brand, from Acura to Volvo.

Show and Display.

If other OEMs put the fuel tank underneath the front passenger seats like the Fit and HR-V, I’m sure they’d compare more closely to the Hondas. 

Not the spare, the normally-mounted tires don’t fit when the spare is in use, according to the comment.

Mazda CX-5 had a manual until this year, I think.

The pod racers were cool, and I spent a number of hours placing “Racer” at nearby electronics stores on their display models because I didn’t have a system (then) that could run it. That quote in the headline thought is cringe-inducing to no end, perhaps even worse now than then because you didn’t think tthe dialogue…

“There’s no replacement for displacement”

NC isn’t so bad. A bit bathtubish, perhaps, but there are much uglier cars, even amongst drop-tops, like the solstice, Solara, Murano CrossCabriolet, chevy ssr, Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible, etc.
