Congratulations! Was it the 22 Way Seats or the Park Assist that was missing on the BL at the other dealer?

That is city/combined/what-ever-the-computer-says. My City-MPG only has a couple of miles of HWY-MPG averaged in.

Not to slight the AWD CCD, but I hardly noticed a difference. Maybe I need to find a road with bigger potholes. I am very pleased with the handling and comfort the fixed position of the FWD config.

Winter City Average - 19.5 Summer City Avg - 18.3 (Lotsa aircon)

Will do. Too many mountains in my driving yesterday.

Felt? I have to keep looking at the tach to see the 5th to 6th handoffs ;-) Any word on you chroma chocolaty goodness is being delivered?

Any lower than 50 MPH caused a down shift to 5th gear. Maybe something can be done with the "S"ports mode by taking the computer adjusted shift points out of the equation.

Chuckle...My wife punched me in the arm the other night, when I made that same argument. I told her the RX and XT only beats the Edge out on the Blue Oval emblem.

Fact Checked - YES The dealership in my area is Black Label accredited and the staff treats me and my Reserve as though it was a Black Label. It is a delight. Stories have it that, Black Label Clients come in from the more affluent coastal communities, are put up in luxury hotels, wined and dined, before they pick up their new Black Label.

~1400 RPM, 50 MPH, ~36MPG

Tip Checked. It still works in a 2016.

I thought it would be fun to start a list of the Tips, Tricks and Features (TTF) of the MKX (and other vehicles...). Trick (Feature?) #1 - All windows down after unlocking (Not the Vista Roof). (1) Press Unlock on the Fob then (1) Press and Hold Unlock on the Fob. Trick (Feature?) #2 - Turn signal auto-cancel for quick lane changes (Stays on for 4-5 seconds after release). Press the turn signal arm about half-way until the signal turns on and then release. Tip #1 - Electric Parking Brake automatically disengages, when vehicle is in drive and driver presses on the accelerator. Tip #2 - Vehicle in 'single pressed Neutral', will go into Park if the Driver's door is opened.

I know what it is! The second new SUV is going to be the Lincoln Barnacle based on the Bronco/Ranger platform

I am so enjoying my obsolete Sync 2.

Yeah...too much pink tint :-P I like my Bronze Fire much better. No pink tint in ANY lighting.

I still have the older Sync 2 and Revel Ultima and never had an audio issue.

Welcome Gurgeh. Oh, I just love the Lincoln seats. Even the Soft-Touch (faux leather) in the loaner Premier trim level was very good. In your situation, I would hold out for the Nautilus unless I found an MKX with Luxury I Package and 22 way Seats. I suspect Ford will have the Heated and Cooled Seats on the Nautilus fixed by the refresh (and I hear the F-150 seats work perfectly now) Good luck.

Yeah, that would be Enhanced Park Aids in the Camera Settings for the little car icon

Cappuccino liners...Your MKX might just be the only Red Label out there ;-)

Have you been to the Fashion Island Lincoln Experience Center? I think the MKC was a BL with the Chroma Coulture Dark Brown. The best of the browns and black ;-) I am a Dark/Light and Light/Dark -- Exterior/Interior kinda guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ahhh...so the 3.0TT RWD and the 3.0TT Hybrid AWD are the options?

Maybe, Ford is scaring me with all this HBS market research.

(I love the split wing grill...gives it an eagle profile) If they pair up the 3.0TT with the Electric Motor, that would be a beast of a hybrid.

Maybe I can develop this EB appreciation with upcoming Aviator :-P (I am still keeping the MKX)

I think you and I are the only MKX 3.7L V6 enthusiasts on this planet. I just love that naturally aspirated sound, when I open her up with the windows down.
