Nautilus production in China a betrayal

TO THE EDITOR:

Lincoln is importing a crossover from China? What a disappointment (“2024 Lincoln Nautilus to be made in China, sold in U.S.,” autonews.com, April 17)! 

I’ve been a Lincoln owner for the last nine years and must say that I’ve found their cars mostly very good. The drivetrains are excellent. 

As my car ages, I face the prospect of its replacement. I thought I’d stay with Lincoln with their Nautilus model. 

However, with the Chinese production announcement, there’s no way I’ll consider it. I feel a bit betrayed. We as Americans have been implored for years by Detroit to buy American. Additionally, with everything going on between the U.S. and China, Lincoln does this? What a betrayal!
