Mike Hoard I have a ‘17 Reserve in midnight sapphire with the 20 spoke 19” anthracite wheels. I bought the 3.0 AWD because I wanted all 400 horsepower and this car is an animal. Not only is it beautiful but it drives great and has been such an awesome car. I’ve owned eight Lincolns and this is my favorite.

Same here, I love my 2013 MKZ Hybrid. Still working great, no issues, have 127K miles on it, the only regular maintenance I did was two times tires changed. Still original brakes!!

JerseyJoe 😆

$81k for the top of the line black label , you can get a nicely loaded one in the mid 60’s and believe me the Navigator has been out for almost two years and can go as high as $104k and still sells for MSRP , at least at our dealership , yes I sell them and people know a good product and a great value specially when you compare all the features , engine power E.T.C to the German luxury competitors for the price the Lincoln is going to be the best value

@@fthahim Not paying that kind of money for a Lincoln regardless... Very good product but priced out... I wish they would take a page out of Genesis book!!!

@@emekaiheanacho6971 you don't have to. Plenty of buyers have already lined up

@@fthahim let them line up...it's their money 🤷🤷

@@fthahim Things will depreciate like mad

You can't get a brand going without making a great product. I'm glad they're spending more money on the product. They're patient and Ford has deep pockets.

I agree with the XT6. I'm a Cadillac guy at the moment (Wife has XT5 and I've the Escalade 2019, yes I preferred it to the Navigator). I prefer simple interiors. However, this Aviator, I could totally see me owning it. I showed it to my wife when it came out and she much preferred the looks than the XT5. But they are in very different price ranges and segment. I think it's the first Lincoln product that made me feel like owning it.

We are talking about real cars , not comedy

Starting price is 50k.

Satish Inventory is low on them right now and they can't keep one on the lot for more than two days. It is expected to be their biggest seller. I think that they took their time and did everything right on it, well maybe not the slightly laggy infotainment, but otherwise fit and finish appear to be excellent.

Daniel Blaney Except starting price is actually $53k and the standard trim base model is stripped down of nearly everything except the engine and 10-speed auto transmission. Looks *nothing* like the one in the video.

All i meant when i said 55k was, if lincoln aims to compete with Audi/BMW etc, it should start with knocking off Acura and Lexus off that pedestal. competing merely on Price point and having quality without increasing reliability is just wrong strategy. i got a new rx350l 45 days back, this wasnt even in my radar for consideration, says a lot, as i shopped for 7 months.

@@DanielBlaney I think he was talking about the Black Label model here at $81K!

If I'm purchasing I would take the Lexus, if leasing then this Lincoln.

Z A86 hello there, we meet again

Yeah... I wouldn't worry about it. That's a really weird thing to say. Ever hear of the Ford brand? Most are at LEAST relatively reliable. I think it'll make it to your cabin without getting out to push it. Good heavens.

My sister just sold her MDX with close to 200k miles. That was part of the reason why I went with the MDX. If I made a little more, the Lincoln would certainly be considered.

If you think the MDX is better looking, you obviously are a man of taste- -all of it bad.

American chassis is better.

Sam Sharma similarly equipped x7 is going over 100k

Khafre Yes it will, emphasis on OVER 100k.

Sam The X7 and X5 are really different. The X7, they wanted to be a really comfortable cruiser, and that is not what an X5 is. So I think that the X7 and the Aviator are comparable.

0-60 in under 5 seconds...to the mechanic

Khafre Bevins the BMW X7 is also a lot nicer, larger, and offers a turbocharged v8 engine. The gauge cluster is so much better and user friendly, and the infotainment system in the X7 is light years ahead of the outdated laggy Lincoln sync3 in the aviator. There are videos of the aviator infotainment system online and it’s very slow and has a horribly delayed response. It’s slower than my MyLink system that was in my Chevrolet Impala. It’s sad especially for the price Lincoln is asking for the Aviator. The X7 on the other hand is worth every penny.

I think people who have 90k to spend on a vehicle don't care about reliability, and acura and lexus(the "reliable brands" in the segment) are by no means competitors to this vehicle

Lincoln has been on a roll with reliability lately. If your asking about the Aviators reliability then it's pretty hard to say for a vehical that has just hit dealers

Probably going to be leased anyway.

@@edwinalfredo310 maybe u should talk to someone who can afford a 90k car. Typical liberal thinking.

Actually with all that high tech s#%t something’s bound to go wrong. Can’t wait to get mine!

mybro727 you’re right, Cadillac can’t touch this

Christopher Lewis No, what’s sad is you actually believe that for $93,000 Cadillac “can’t touch this”. Cadillac already “touched this” back in 2015. For that kind of money you can buy a top trim Cadillac Escalade Platinum with a naturally aspirated V8 engine producing 420hp on demand without any turbos and mated to GM’s buttery smooth 10-speed auto transmission with towing capabilities of over 8,000 lbs. The Aviator doesn’t even offer a V8 in any trim/configuration or a naturally aspirated V6, nor can it move that kind of weight. The Cadillac XT6 is just as nice but for $20,000 less. It may be less powerful lack soft closing doors, a unreliable air ride suspension and a rear ventilated seat, but it has a naturally aspirated V6 producing over 300 horsepower and a twin-clutch AWD system that completely outsmarts the Lincoln Aviator’s. XT6 boasts a luxurious interior, full of technology and a overall very refined ride for thousands less. There’s nothing revolutionary about this Lincoln to justify your statement. We live in a world where a Chevrolet (C8) is just as luxurious as a Lincoln, if not more luxurious. I wouldn’t underestimate Cadillac with this redesigned 2021 Escalade if I were a Lincoln fanboy.

Christopher Lewis you care to elaborate.? This Aviator is literally the best thing the Lincoln company has to offer to the luxury market, it’s better than their own flagship Navigator and it even costs just as much as one. We have yet to see what Cadillac’s best will be for 2020-2022. We don’t have the $93,000 RWD Cadillac competitor to compare this to just yet. So please explain what you mean and how you could be so sure

@@mybro727 Yeah I've 2019 ESV Platinum, I prefered it to the new navigator on my test drives. Later when I saw the new Aviator I thought to myself, well maybe I could downsize this look great. Then noticed it was almost the same price.. No thanks.

mybro727 it’s not just as nice as this, go watch reviews on the xt6, it’s the most bland car Cadillac has made to date. It has an 8 inch touch screen when most of the completion offers atleast 10 inches or up. And the gauges aren’t even fully digital, most of the competition is offering fully digital displays. And the Escalade is outdated as hell, the technology is old and still has Cadillac’s old infotainment system with the capacitive touch buttons. The interior quality is trash, it creaks and makes noises when you go over bumps. Lincoln won this round through and through

What would you get in this segment?

Any car with a 3rd row can be optioned to not have one

Car manufacturers should distribute free birth control

$81K for any vehicle is ridiculous...they all depreciate, some faster than others.

LaVelle Hardin no mate, your wrong, the chassis may be the same but the car is totally different New Lincoln cars have nothing in common, some are minor tho

Every carmakers shares platform Lexus with Toyota. Audi with Volkswagen.

Dogmakarma Store They are flying off the lots when they get any in.
