2023 Corsair orders, build dates

My dealer just texted me that my 2023 Corsair Standard which was ordered 9 /27 /22 build date 4/ 5/23 which went into production 3/28 /23 is now in the vendor view list with an ETA of 5/1/23 at the dealership. My build was priority 2 and order number k487 so maybe this is a way to make sense of all this madness and yes Olderbudweiser I will believe all this when I am driving off the lot in my vehicle I ordered. Just offering some hope and stokin the excitement train.
 
I noticed that a local Lincoln dealer's 2023 Corsair status had changed from in transit to in stock. On contacting the dealer I was assured that not only did they have no 2023 stock but he expressed certainty that no one in the nation yet did.

Not clear if he meant just me personally or anyone but he indicated that deliveries would not be until summer. I've been estimating July 1 for my GT (assuming from built to actual delivery probably at least an additional month) so I expect he's correct.
 
Hi gang. For what it is worth: I was at my Lincoln Dealership yesterday for an oil change/tire rotation etc. I asked my Salesperson if they had any 2023 Corsairs in stock yet (they had one "Like New" 2022 Corsair on the showroom floor). He said they had none in stock yet, that he is waiting on 6 customer orders of his own, and with production only beginning to ramp up now and scheduling constraints, he was not expecting any to actually arrive until sometime into May.

He is normally a no BS kind of guy and reliable for general information. So again, for what it is worth.

Hope you all get your Corsairs as soon as possible and good luck. 🍻

just want to let you know, there is a Corsair GT 2023 going to some dealer just for 24hrs video exempe, here's some link:

It's crazy how different the Whisper Blue color looks in person compared to the renderings on the website:

I have no idea why they used nighttime lighting. The color looks completely different. I definitely prefer the "real" whisper blue but I can imagine some buyers will be disappointed if they were expecting a much darker shade of blue.

I ordered whisper blue. I definitely wanted blue or red. I thought about the new deep red that looks almost purple in some pics. But, I didn’t want a really dark color and some pics of it look brownish. I love color. I keep going back and forth on rather I made the right choice. I did see vapor blue (same as whisper blue) on a Mach e and I liked it. I was worried it would look flat like the trend seems to be lately. But, it was very sparkly. It’s a weird color, looks different from every angle. Here are a few pics I took.

I remember back in the day dealerships had " color chips " which were big pieces of metal with the actual paint color on it. Guess I am really old.
 
Getting pissed when I read "In a stunning reveal, Ford CEO Barley admitted that the 2023 Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair never had any issues with their digital instrument clusters. Instead, the Louisville Assembly plantencountered problems integrating the 2024 Ford Maverick convertible onto its lines, which is where the new variant will be exclusively manufactured. “Honestly, we’re going to cancel those vehicles (the Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair) anyway, so the slowdown doesn’t really matter,” Barley told audiences on Twitch. “This convertible is going to be way more profitable and popular than those commodity products ever were.” ...........Until I read to the end.
🤣
 
Call me "initially gullible".......Gotta watch that calendar better
 
LOL. The article is full of hints...just two in the first paragraph:

"With over 500,000 Ford F-150 convertibles sold since its launch in 2021..."
" Ford CEO Tim Barley excitedly stated at the reveal event in Antarctica."

I know, what can I say, it was early on a Saturday after being up late due to heavy storms here in the Midwest. My braincells weren't totally firing on all cylinders. 🛻
 
Hey, @LinkedMe I'm not criticizing you at all........not at all. I think it is a very funny article.

I love these kinds of things, and have been royally pranked on April 1 in the past!
Car and Driver mag usually has one very tongue-in-cheek article in their April issue every year. It often takes me 2 or 3 reads to figure out which one!
