Younger demographics want more technology, especially in China where Lincoln is building this and selling a ton of them. So yes, their buyers are asking for this.

Thats the point…they want younger buyers not old legacy Lincoln buyers, and this is largely designed for China.

Watching videos on this now, I think it looks great.

Thats. The. Point. They are trying to reach a younger buyer, and buyers in Asia. I’m 41 and I would buy this, I would never have bought the old Nautilus. I would choose this over an RX in a heartbeat.

The Nautilus looks very nice in the videos. It should do very well for Lincoln. I'm not sure if being made in China will be a hurdle or not here in the US.

Most buyers aren’t going to care.

You could be right. They don't seem to with the Buick Envision.

This pricing has to be a typo right? That is ABSURD.

Essentially 75k for a 4-cylinder luxury mid-compact crossover on a fwd-based AWD platform on the Black Label.. that's insane. And the hybrid+black styling package can push the car to over 80k.

It does look absurb at first but if you consider that it uses better trimming and is equipped with more options, its not that crazy.

25k worth of uptrimmings on top of the base level though?

I agree I'd like to know what the trims are to justify the 25k.

That price is absolutely CRAZY.

This for 72k (83k with options) or an Audi Q8, BMW X5, base X7, GLE53 AMG, base GLS, base Escalade, GV80, RX500h (and save money), or spend an additional 10k to get into a LX600h?! That price is absurd! And note this is way smaller than all those cars.

I like it, I really do, but.... Hard pass.

Premier and Reserve seem to be in line with pricing of the RX, but I agree on the Black Label. Seems priced 10-15k higher than it should be, but knowing Lincoln there will be rebates, etc. once inventory increases.

I don't think the pricing is crazy at all. A loaded RX is in the mid 70s. Very few of them will be Black Labels.

Why do you guys always look at the fully loaded model and say its overpriced because you can buy a basic model of X, Y or Z? Makes no sense. Thats why companies like Lexus limit the options we can have here in the US.

Right. Same price as a fully-loaded Jeep GC 2-row, from a base price of $41,000. If a GC can cost $74,000, certainly a Nautilus can.
