elijahbird7 Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 To me, it's like putting blackwall tires on my classic cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahbird7 Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Basically, there are several brands that have a $60,000+ sticker price that do offer vehicles that have wheels that are not gray, and unfortunately Lincoln is not. Whatever you like, you should have the option to choose, not shoved in that direction with no choice. I will either keep my 2016 longer, or look at other brands which I would rather not do.

akirby Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Wheels are literally the easiest thing to change on a new vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos36 Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I am quite pleased with the medium luster nickel-finish-appearing OEM wheels. Contrary to some complaints here of durability issues, both the 3 year old MKX & similar 9 year old Fusion wheels look like new with zero issues...perhaps our moderate climate with near-neutral pH rain, no snow/salt contaminated slush, etc. helps. Also a huge fan of clear bra installs on two of my vehicles...no chips or other issues after several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKXMark Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Thanks, Bad Tone. The one thing I wish it would do is allow you to move your navigation map off of the touch screen and into the guage screen, leaving the infotainment screen available to display other things. Audi, Jag, Land Rover and others have this capabilities. I've driven both the Audi and LR versions and they are stunning (speedo and other key info are still there but minimized) and having the map right in front of you is nice. Maybe with the next generation of Sync... You can have the turn-by-turn info in the center display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkabout Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Guergh, I hope you absolutely love your new vehicle. My 2016 has mostly been pretty great. I'm up for a new lease this summer, and will look at another. Gurgeh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgeh Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Guergh, I hope you absolutely love your new vehicle. My 2016 has mostly been pretty great. I'm up for a new lease this summer, and will look at another. Thanks! I'll have a couple month wait still before it gets here. I typically just buy cars outright but since I am seriously thinking about just keeping it for 3 years for when the Nautilus redesign comes (presumably with a more Aviator-style interior, hopefully the 3.0tt engine, and the latest stuff like head up display), I just may go for my first lease. I'll have plenty to time to work through the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahbird7 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Just saw my first Nautilus on the road today. In front of me in traffic was a Ceramic Pearl Nautilus. At first, as I was pulling up to it at a stoplight, I thought it was an MKX, but when I got closer, I noticed the difference in the taillights, and when he turned to go North, I verified it by seeing the emlem under the rear view mirror. So first one to see out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos36 Posted November 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Darn! It wasn't blue with chrome wheels. LOL Congrats on being the first to report a Nautilus in the wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahbird7 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) I did notice that a dealer 17 miles away does have a Diamond Blue in Stock. May have to go take a look at that color at least.... Edited December 6, 2018 by elijahbird7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
