My 2020 lease comes up in June. I guess I will not be getting a new Corsair until 2024, or maybe I should consider a Lexus or German small crossover?Sorry if this is a repeat of prior communication from you Forum'ers but I think the content is slightly different.

2023 LINCOLN CORSAIR PRODUCTION REMAINS CONSTRAINED
By Brett Foote
April 7, 2023 12:43 pm
The refreshed 2023 Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair were revealed last fall, with deliveries expected to begin in early 2023 – at that time, at least. However, in February, Ford paused Escape and Corsair production after discovering a quality issue that we later learned was software-related, and that shutdown was eventually extended all the way into March. Turns out, the problem was traced back to the instrument cluster, and a re-flash corrected it, allowing The Blue Oval to resume production with no further issues, as the automaker revealed in its latest sales report. However, there is a major discrepancy in terms of how many Escape crossovers FoMoCo built versus the total number of 2023 Lincoln Corsair models that have come off the assembly line thus far.
As Ford Authority reported yesterday, after building just 494 2023 Ford Escape models in February, the automaker managed to ramp that number up to 11,771 units in March, which is a significant jump by any measure. However, it’s worth noting that The Blue Oval only assembled 159 Lincoln Corsaircrossovers at the same plant over the same time span, as the Escape’s more luxurious brethren was also facing the same software-related issue. It’s unclear why that’s the case, but it’s notable, regardless.
When added to the 366 Corsair crossovers that came off the line in January, along with the fact that none were produced in February, this means that just 525 units have been produced in total this year – a drop in the pan compared to the 16,166 Escape crossovers that have been built over that same time period.
There are many reasons why this could be the case, including demand – it’s possible that Ford has secured far more orders for the refreshed Escape than the Corsair or is prioritizing production of one over the other, which is why it’s focusing on that particular model. For now, at least, the reasoning behind this discrepancy is unclear, however.
We’ll have more on Corsair production soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for the latest Lincoln Corsair news and continuous Ford news coverage.

pretty sure leases can be extended monthly up to 6 months. Includes additional mileage. Check with dealer

Depends. Is your 2020 lease on a Lincoln?
Just FYI, when I ordered my 2021 Nautilus, I had to take 2 two month extensions of the lease on my 2018 MKZ due to COVID-related shutdowns, supply constraints, etc. When I called the Lincoln Finance folks and explained what I wanted to do, they were very helpful in extending the lease. They said I could get however much additional time as was needed until my new car arrived. The monthly cost was the same for the extension, and they just extended the mileage, which was very fair and worked out for me.

Order date?
Over the last few days the X-plan pricing is now available on the Ford Partner website. So I finally know how much I am going to pay for my Corsair that was ordered back in October, assuming it actually gets built and shipped. About $2000 under MSRP for a fully loaded Reserve...I guess that is not too bad in these times.

My dealer printed out a price sheet with the A/Z, D, and X pricing versus the MSRP. For my GT it shows a savings of $3,451 for the X plan.

First of all, thanks for sharing. That is more in-line with what I expected on my GT order. But, the funny thing on this forum is how inconsistent our experiences are from dealer to dealer. My salesman who really seemed to know his stuff, insisted that he would not be able to give me exact X plan pricing until my invoice was created. He told me he should be able to pull that after the VIN is assigned (or maybe the window sticker is available. It was 7 months ago when he told me this!)
Others have mentioned the $400 increase (between freight and the towing package) which I noticed on my Feb DORA sheet. BUT, my thing is, he didn't give me an X plan price in writing when I ordered. So, I figure if they honor the X plan (plus any available rebates at the time) then I really don't have much of a leg to stand on regarding the increase. That said, I still plan to point it out!

So, we're 6 months into the model year, and Lincoln has built as-near-as-makes-no-difference zero Corsairs. At what point do they just write-off the '23 year entirely, and abandon the model? Doesn't seem like they could possibly make enough to earn a positive return on the platform at this point, even if they start ramping production now.

What Happened to Lincoln?
Ford's luxury brand feels lost in the wilderness right now, with EV development way behind and sales near record lows How did we get here?

Ford Motor has had only one real CEO in 20 plus years. Alan Mulally.What Happened to Lincoln?

Alan came after Jac Nasar who almost single handily destroyed Ford.
Mulally brought Ford back from bankruptcy but didn't have the Ford vision of pounding square pegs into round holes, so once Ford was out of the woods he moved on. Probably with a little help.
It's been one social justice warrior after another hiring and promoting to make people feel good.
My Co worker that thought he was getting one that was coming in to a dealer (posted that way back) didn’t get that supposed one. He ordered a reserve the other day. I saw the order. The dealer told him he’s get it in July 
yeah right. You guys have been waiting forever. I told him don’t hold ur breath lol

Okay. I got a weird email this morning:
The link in the new email took me to the Lincoln order tracking status page, and it showed my vehicle with the correct dealership, exterior, interior, options, etc. ... BUT it now has a completely different order number and completely different VIN and it's back to Step 1 (of 5) Order Confirmed...
If I go to the Lincoln Order Tracking Status page and enter my old order number and my old VIN, my 2023 Corsair GT comes up at Step 2 (of 5) Scheduled Week Of April 17.
Good Grief! Has this happened to anyone else?
For what it's worth, neither of my two order/VINs has a Window Sticker.

Sounds like your dealer may have hijacked your original order or is simply copying your original order to get more stock. In any case, I'd be on the blower to your sales manager.

Well kinda...I ordered a Reserve for my wife. Received a vin and window sticker long ago. Email dated April 5th shoes in production bubble populated and a build date of April 4th.
Also ordered a GT in December of 2022. So today at 3:20 am I receive an email telling me although my build week was April 3rd but there are delays. The Email is referencing the GT not the reserve. So confusion reins with me.
Never received an a vin or window sticker for GT.
