Speaking of website formats, anyone else having trouble with Carscoops comments? I can't see or add to them. That's a good site too.. it has (or used to have) really good discourse.

It won’t happen, but a Lincoln version of the Bronco would be killer. Blend the rugged aesthetic with luxury, a polished interior with maximum sound deadening. Offer a moonroof. (Lincoln would definitely have a fixed top and doors). Add adaptive air suspension. Tuned turbocharged V6 standard, and a hybrid option. Price it competitively. They could create a new market, like they did with the Navigator in the 90s. And I think it would sell. Especially to young professionals. A more accessible G-Wagon. They could call it the Mountaineer

The interior is definitely my favorite part of the refresh. Nice use of materials and overall a very clean design that looks upscale. Hope it becomes a trend for Ford

I really like that. A more utilitarian Escape with maximum room that isn’t too close to Bronco Sport styling. If that were an issue, I’m sure they could square out the Bronco Sport even more next go around I also like DeluxeStang’s idea. A sportier and swoopier Escape that will draw attention to the segment and bring something fun to the nameplate

How about a Maverick based Escape?

https://fordauthority.com/2024/08/ford-explorer-lincoln-aviator-hybrids-will-replace-evs/ "The automaker also revealed that it was shifting those resources to “develop a new family of electrified three-row SUVs which will include hybrid technologies that can offer breakthrough efficiency, performance benefits, and emissions reductions versus pure gas vehicles and extend the range of the vehicle on road trips relative to pure electric vehicles.” Seems they are developing hybrids to replace the cancelled 3-Row EVs already. I wonder if they will stick to CD6 or switch to C2

With that shape, I think the third row would have felt very uncomfortable..

Now that we have an updated Navigator, I’m gonna predict that the next move for Lincoln is Corsair getting a heavy refresh within the next year or two, followed by a heavier Aviator update (which I think will stay on CD6 with the Explorer). This will complete their lineup with the large screens and updated exterior/interior styling. But for now, I think Lincoln will focus on a promotion run for the Navigator and Nautilus, possibly introducing a hybrid sooner or later like many here are hoping.

I did an edit with a little more separation between the main grille and lower grille. It's not a notable difference but it does look a bit better I think.

Hey, maybe for the mid-cycle refresh in 4 years. 😆

This must be the Reserve without the Jet Package since it doesn’t have black accents. I like it too. Overall, I’m impressed!

Do we know if the reveal will be tonight at midnight, or sometime during the day?

It looks like they’re dropping the chrome trim on the lower side of the doors and rear. I think that will help differentiate it from the current model, it will also look more modern

Is it me or does the center screen looks integrated into the dash versus sticking out like on like the Nautilus? Awesome if that’s the case!

I’m hyped. 2 more days!

Full-width taillights and the brand name spelled out across the back? Never seen that before!

I was thinking of this too. That would be a great time and place

I noticed all of these details too. I think it will be a bigger refresh than some of us think. You’re definitely not the only one tired of waiting haha.

I like Mazda’s solution, they have a two-row version of the CX-90 and call it the CX-70. Other than that, it’s the same vehicle. However, if Ford were to do as such with the Explorer to create an Edge, they might would want to shorten the wheelbase a bit. The result would be a RWD biased Edge. Sounds appealing.

https://fordauthority.com/2024/07/polestar-ceo-throws-shade-at-ford-capri-over-design/ Polestar sees the similarities too.

I’m kinda digging it

I’m loving that front end

Hopefully they have something much better than this planned for the new Navigator..

In my opinion, the US Corsair and Aviator definitely needed a rear refresh to match the new design language of the Nautilus and upcoming Navigator. I hope both models continue for another generation. I’d like to see a new Aviator that can seat 8, like the new three-row models from GM and Hyundai. I also hope Lincoln is planning a big Navigator reveal soon, it could attract a lot of good attention. I’m ready for a teaser already lol.
