Ford Makes History by Importing Lincoln SUV to U.S. — from China
Breitbart ^ | 04/30/2023 | John Binder

Posted on 04/30/2023 6:19:08 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Ford Motor Company will make history by importing its next generation Lincoln Nautilus from China — the first time ever to do so. The move comes as backlash mounts against a planned Ford plant in Marshall, Michigan, that involves China’s premier electric vehicle battery supplier.

This month, Ford executives announced that the Lincoln Nautilus will be made in China and imported to sell to Americans in the United States. Previously, the SUV was made in Ontario, Canada before being shipped to the U.S. market for sale.

I’m driving my last Ford right now. Once it’s gone, no more.

Keep it going for as long as you can. You are NOT going to like the cars ICE or EV being imposed by government fiat starting in 2026.

"Shipped" as in loaded on a trailer and driven across the river to Detroit from Windsor.

Buy American: Toyota, Honda, Nissan ...

My 2023 Toyota Tacoma Off Road was built in Texas with 70% American Content.

That's more American than the last "American" manufacturer car I purchased!

Yeah, it is AWD. I don’t think they do the CX-30 in front only drive.

The new Nissan Frontier looks sharp also.

It's also one of the top 10 vehicles to NOT buy!

If you're looking at a mid-size pickup, Toyota Tacoma's the way to go. Stay away from the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. A friend is a service writer for a GM Dealership. He says the Colorado and Canyon's have "nothing but problems."

Look up Scotty Kilmer on YouTube and see his reviews on Nissan's. Not reliable.

Love my 2023 Tacoma.

This story is the straw that breaks THIS camel’s back.

I have loved Lincolns since I was a kid. I’ve owned several over the years.

Losing the Town Car hurt, but I could see the reasons.

Losing the actual Marks (man I loved my VIII) was worse, and I still sting from that decision, but I accepted it, and was looking at one of the SUV imposters.

No more. I’ll buy used cars from Japan instead.

Well seriously, is there really that much difference between Trudeau's Canada and the PRC?

Seriously, do you think that we up here present a greater threat to you than the CCP?

And Trudeau is highly unlikely to politically survive his next election.

We have been economic and political allies for over a century. There is more than enough division within already.

Quit with the angry rhetoric. For everyone’s sake. We need to work together, but posts that inject vitriol and rage are no help.

No wonder it had so many problems. Now it makes perfect sense.

My Corolla from Blue Spring Mississippi is pretty darn American, but probably not as American as my late ‘90s Ranger from New Jersey.
