    Lincoln Introduces the Corsair Grand Touring

      ...Corsair gets a plug-in option...

    Los Angeles - At the Los Angeles Auto Show, Lincoln introduced the Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring, a plug-in hybrid trim.  Based on the standard Corsair, the Grand Touring's powertrain consists of a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder gas engine and a permanent magnet synchronous motor.  The combined output based on Lincoln's calculations would be roughly 266 horsepower.  Electric All-wheel drive powers the rear wheels.  EV range is targeted at 25 miles EPA. 

    Power is conveyed through a PowerSplit electric continuously variable transmission with two electric motors working together to provide very smooth acceleration. 

    In addition to the five modes normally available to Corsair drivers, two additional modes are available on the Grand Touring;  Preserve EV mode recharges and saves battery power for later, the engine and motor work continuously to deliver full power.  The battery can be recharged up to 75 percent while in this mode. Pure EV mode is designed to keep the vehicle in all-electric mode as much as possible, only using the gasoline engine when the power demands exceed the electrical capabilities of the vehicle. 

    The Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring will be built in Louisville Kentucky and will go on sale summer of 2020.

    There are a number of other brands and materials that are far more cost-effective than Dynomat, which is hugely overpriced, IMO. I did the floor/ firewall/ rear bulkhead on my B-59 with a heavy foil-faced butyl rubber product and it cost me less than $50. I am looking for something to do the roof, and haven’t done the doors yet.

    Cool, please share the site for the material, always looking for options as I agree Dynomat while very effective, is expensive.

    • Thanks, I definitely did not remember reading that. I, too, would have been upset about that announcement. That certainly would have been a way to keep me out of future Ford products. 
    • Windows 11 has pro's and Con's but then what version of windows did not. Overall, I have NOT seen any possessive or restrictive issues with what you can do with Windows 11. Now one thing to be aware is that 11 does have more hardware requirements, so it is possible that if you try to update your current Win10 setup, it could come back and say I cannot until you get a compatible CPU or Graphics card, etc. I would double check your system against the requirements, does not make any sense to spend hours attempting to upgrade if your system will not truly support it. Windows 11 Specs and System Requirements | Microsoft Windows I have a Maxed out with SSD drives Lenovo Laptop that is fast and rocks but does not pass the hardware check so it cannot upgrade to Win11, so it will stay at Win10 since it works just fine.  Ignore the threats about everything as it is Microsoft's attempt to get you to spend money on hardware and new Win11 when you really do not have too.
    • WIndows 11 ... Now that I have (your, someone's) attention, I have a question or two. I'm still running Windows 10 and it has been great.  I can speak for my laptop, but haven't used my HP tower in a good while.  Support for Windows 10 goes away in mid-October of this year. I have held back on converting because, first and foremost, I heard it is a lot more possessive and restrictive of what you can do with it ... by that, I mean it pushes you into more proprietary sites and options rather than letting you choose.  It's bossy, in a way.* To me, that sounds like a bad thing more than a good thing. The other is that it needs 40GB of RAM free at the moment to do the installation.  I'm going to have to make some room. Can I get some input (in wording better suited for a general user) on the concerns voiced in the last 2 paragraphs?   Thank you. * I'm not the sort of person to be "whipped," so that would be a problem ... LOL
