silvrsvt Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Is it me or does the window shade/roof on that Aviator just look weird? I'm assuming its the color combo throwing something off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The whole side of the greenhouse looks weird to me. Hopefully it’s just the angle/camo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assimilator Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) Yeah, something looks way off with that roof. The Explorer has this "forehead" but it's handled with a boxier detail. On Aviator it looks like they tried to smooth it out while retaining the same hard points. Those ridges on the roof look particularly absurd. It's spoiling an otherwise nice design. It probably looks better with a vista roof. It's an aggressive profile for sure. Edited November 26, 2018 by Assimilator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assimilator Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) Here's a profile, I realize there is a big difference interns of interior packaging of a FWD Nautilus vs the RWD Aviator. I suspect the hip-points are lower in Aviator so you're suppose to sit lower to the ground than in something like Nautilus. Either way, I'm very skeptical about visibility in that design.

Yeah, it does look like it should've extended higher. --- You know, this is the first time I realized they gave it blacked out a-pillars. Never noticed it on the concept since it was in that darker color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assimilator Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) Not a huge fan of Lincoln's A-Pillar design personally, it looks good at the belt line but awkward at the roofline because it's not really part of the greenhouse design like it is on Explorer and Land Rover. I think you have to be a design snob to really care about that. It's easy to nitpick an otherwise outstanding design. Detroit rarely produces uncompromising luxury items that stand out and I think this does, along with Navigator.

It was my only criticism. I'm very optimistic about the Aviator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assimilator Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I really like the lower fascia details, I think they finally have a motif that works for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordowner Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 yes hopefully its the angle, and that tint job on the front windshield it looks like its off balance and too low which again maybe the angle or an optical issue with the camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 That angle makes the grille look absurdly small too. I think/hope its just the angle. The side profile above looks much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, the proportions on the Aviator are great! That should satisfy the proportion snobs that complain about Lincolns looking too FWD.

Black label gets a more smoked chrome look than the straight chrome the rest of them do. I like the look a little better myself but could never afford one. Not that I would ever drive a luxury car.

The flat grey color doesn't do it any favors either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
