*edit: don’t let the camo fool you, didn’t think it would at first but it looks great.

So they decided to make the Aviator softer when it could have looked more muscular like the very attractive concept sketch:

Not a fan of these rounder headlights that just run into the grille.

That's basically just the preface design.

The base model without the attaching lightbar kinda has a Star Trek Naussicaan alien look to it...

Is this an incomplete model?  Almost looks like it lol.

 

Without the bar through the grille (I'd say trims without the light should have a chrome strip, not just....nothing), it makes the front end look like it wants to sneeze or something.

A snot rocket?

At first I was a bit worried but I think it looks ok

Looks good to me.

[matt6 22]

Well I’ll be damned, I spoke too soon. Looks great!

Remember - sometimes you need to make a change just to keep it fresh.  Not everybody will like every change but hopefully for every buyer who doesn’t like it you’ll pick up a new one who does.

I actually think it looks good. 

[matt6 22]

Y’know, I actually like how there isn’t a light bar in the middle. It’s interesting how the DRLs swoop into the grille. I think if they connected, it would be somewhat more generic. And it helps differentiate it from the Nautilus. 

It’d be great if the rear got updated as well but overall I’m happy with this refresh! Can’t wait for future Lincoln product; I’m looking out for the next Navigator.

Added the chrome bits to the grill makes a huge difference 

[Hugh 389]

Nice.

I find it pretty ridiculous they couldn’t stamp a new tailgate or rearrange the trim pieces to make it look different.  I anticipate we will be seeing this model for a while longer since Ford seems to be very interested in draining Ford Blue in favor of the electric division.  Unless they surprise me with  a complete redesign within two years, but I’m not holding my breath.  
 

I do like what I’m seeing on the front end at

least.   Let’s hope the interior is sufficiently done with the coast to coast screen.

This grill... 

 

This grill is sick. I'm really liking the new front end. It's strong, yet clean and smooth. 

I saw two of these off 94 recently uncovered, black. I must say, even with the disappointing untouched rear end, the Lincoln Aviator is still a great design.

 

I wonder how soon we'll see a production version of the Star concept.

Now I am not sure if the higher trims are getting the lightbar in front as the Nautilus. This seems to be a BL model

None of the front end designs in the spy shots line up with the image we saw in the interior. The headlights aren’t as round, and the grille is much larger and more rectangular. 

Now this is just a silly theory, and it really wouldn’t make sense as this is an Aviator spy shot unless it was a red herring from Ford, but what if what we are seeing is actually the next gen Navigator?

The graphic in the dash can be changed easily...the Bronco and Bronco Sport Sync start up was buried in the file on other products before they came out. 

 

The camo mule-I can't find the original link for it, but it also could be a Lincoln Mach E product?

I might be in the minority but I would prefer if it had the light bar it looks incomplete without it.

Definitely wanted to comment on this weeks ago but yeah, what we thought was a Aviator animation looks like it's a Navigator instead!

It would be a little bit strange but you are right, so far none of the mules have the front end that we saw in the image of the interior, although would be weird because it isn’t the new system as the Nautilus or the new interior configuration

[Dlcorbett 126]

Could it be possible that lincoln was testing the new ui system in the aviator to see if it would work on that platform?

 

Either way, if that image  "previewed" the navigator and it get an interior similar the the nautilus, I'm saving my money now.
