92merc Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 How about getting the Aviator off the sh!t-list for least reliable cars??? Hmmm, wouldn't that be good? ? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Will be nice to see Lincoln having a fully refreshed lineup within 18 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeluxeStang Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 ? Looks like the new Nautilus will replace the aviator as the best looking Lincoln. I know the Chinese market matters to most brands. But with this and the new Chinese explorer timberline, I'm not feeling some of ford's new designs. Tired of the massive grills, the new super duty also looks super goofy. I assume some of these designs were the last things Morray signed off on before leaving the design studios for good. Not sure what happened here.

mustang84isu Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Not a fan if this is true. Lincoln has been doing a good job with minimal, clean styling in the US market, and the Chinese Lincolns add unnecessary styling elements that make it look downmarket. I've never been a huge fan of the chrome fender badges Lincolns have been sporting since 2017, but they could be worse....like the how the Chinese Zephyr takes it to the next level of gaudiness with a fender badge accent that spans 2/3 across the front door. Same with the chrome strip across the grille and the goofy lower air dams. The Lincoln Star concept is hopefully previewing a better direction... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without needing a grille, obviously the design will be cleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The surfacing language of that concept is very reminiscent of the 1961-1965 Continentals. It will be interesting to see how that translates into production.

But beyond that, the Star isn’t slab/sided like Conti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stared at it for quite a while trying to find something, all I could see was the tops of the front fenders... but the bronco has that too if we're reaching that far.

Yeah the only similarity I can see is the "grille" is framed by the lines flowing into the fenders. On a side note, I did that star concept, but they should make the front end a little less stubby looking on the production model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellanca Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Curious how this will turn out, not sure if this will look too busy or not. I could potentially see upgrading if they are to offer an all electric version—on my third Aviator(first was a lemon) and just love it.

Ares Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I wonder when we will get a reveal. Are we expecting another generation after this refresh? Or is it all EV Aviator from here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what happened here. First time I have seen this pic. That’s the Chinese explorer timberline? I actually like that. This with the Chinese explorer interior would be a winner here. Maybe not in that orange, but I imagine forged green or carbonized gray would look pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
