I work on on a feature for CD6 and put my heart and soul into this beast. Aviator is my favorite vehicle lincoln has ever launched and I'm hoping others love it as well

Well, I put a deposit down today for the new Aviator, Black Label Flight Theme in Flight Blue. The salesman told me they’re hoping to be in around the June timeframe. Needless to say, I’m excited!

Oh here is the truck... 😊

You spelled profit wrong.

Well at least they haven't cut corners on the new Corvette, otherwise you'd see all sorts of problems from electrical to warped frames and.........

I refuse to believe any new trucks from Ford unless I see a giant powerpoint of a desert scene with only a vehicle name displayed on a giant screen at an auto show 3 years out. 😉

Maybe the frame couldn't handle the stress of putting gas in the gas tank.

After a little over a month of ownership, I really can't find any major faults with the truck. It really is the perfect size and it very well built (especially for being one of the first built!)

Well, in 1984 IBM had 70% of the typewriter market...great dominance, but a bigger slice of a shrinking market doesn't do much for profits.

If it wasn’t for Ford JLR would have gone bankrupt.

Aside from the hybrid news Assimilator dropped before vanishing most of this I've been telling you guys for months, but no, don't listen to me!

As promised:

I have them in my Super Duty because we like two kids more than the third... 😄

Navigator, Aviator, Generator

I just saw an article on Facebook from car and driver and what irritates me is the top sentence is Lincoln tries again with a Ford Explorer based suv. I don’t see headlines about Lexus being a Toyota based suv or Cadillac being a Chevrolet based suv, or even Audi being a VW based suv. This is the crap that causes good products to be labeled as bad.

Most of this stems from automotive outsiders aka IT companies (Nvidia,Apple to a lesser point, etc) over hyping the market to pump up stock prices because their other products are mature (i.e. no way to grow market share) to keep profits up. Just take a look at Trains or even Airplanes-both would be far easier to "automate", but they still have humans in the loop. We will see full electrification before we see completely autonomous cars on the roads-they will be limited to fixed areas (think parking lots like Disney) for the next 5-10-15 years.

Fall of 2020????? 18 months away? Did they hire the Bronco marketing team?

The same person who told me a year ago in Detroit that suicide doors would show up on Continental (and they did) and that the Mustang platform was made available to Lincoln told me more last week at NAIAS. There will be a coupe and sedan version of the Mustang-derived, rear-drive model. He said NY Auto Show should be very interesting for Lincoln. It may be the debut of a concept or production Corsair or I'm thinking that this new rear-drive model which would replace the MKZ could be the big thing in New York.

Oh my - somebody has their panties in a big wad. Notice they never say that the competition was any better in those subjective areas. And the objective data tells a different story. Translation - Ford didn’t want to pony up for the TOTY award.

Picked mine up on Thursday!

Ford builds the hottest factory mustang ever by a wide margin with 700+ hp and you people bitch and complain about it and say Ford doesn’t care about performance. Ridiculous.

Time to sprinkle the holy water on Caddy.
