The Ford Authority Take

While Lincoln Corsair sales maintained their sixth place showing from the previous quarter and outperformed the segment average by a healthy margin to start out the year, cumulative sales from other automakers actually pushed the Corsair down the list, with it falling behind most of the field. Lincoln’s smallest crossover was outpaced by crosstown rival GM, Lexus, Acura, Audi, Volvo, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz.
