And it's been very consistent in their reporting style. That, in itself, is a breath of fresh air.

Never change @motorweek

Lincoln is ahead with SUV design, but the sedans are not even close Cadillac is miles ahead.

Lincoln will be taking market share with this Aviator!

Sam and which market is exploding? Luxury suvs.

Ale Bob baby boomer detected

Not in sales

Things have really changed in the 4 yrs since you posted this comment. These vehicles are sitting and rotting on dealers' lots, nobody is buying! They are UNRELIABLE and OVER PRICED. There are BETTER cars out there (namely Toyotas) that are priced lower and are WAY more reliable!

Timeless style, man.

He's an alien.

Computer generated image is my guess! But seriously,he really is a good example of consistency.

John used to be more hefty. Definitely aged very well!

He definitely dies change colors though

The voice is still golden, that’s all that matters.

Love mine too. Mine is black label, grand touring, pristine white, flight theme, luggage tan interior with ALL available options including the rear seat entertainment package, and it gets 24.7 mpg according to the computer and I drive almost exclusively in excite mode. Neck snapper. Hey, I’m a product of the 60’s muscle car generation. I love this car.

Congrats on the purchase...any issues with air conditioning?

Maestro_T lmao😂😂

2:52 not the only oops in editing

That’s why it’s on the sticker. What they should put on there is how many barrels of oil it took to make the car. That would separate the hype from the hybrids.

No more professionalism

@@48Boxer I was literally about to say the same thing! Lol!

David Robert : fashion police were notified...this guys doing time.

It’s just about traditions. Was surprised to see him the same as he was 30 years ago, though.

The graphic T shirt is the biggest offense.

They have already been corrected.

@@harleyjackson5513 no they haven't. Read the article from the Detroit Free Press. Vehicles are still going from Flat Rock to Chicago....

I have alot more info than you would ever know! It has been corrected!

@@harleyjackson5513 Sure thing, Janice. I think I'm going to believe the article written by a reputable publication that interviewed actual employees instead of some random person on the internet.

The issues have been correct. I have 2 cousins that work at the plant in Chicago who have told me me of the early issues and changes made. Plus my father in law is retired from that same plant and talked to several of the guys he knows still working there before he ordered his...

You wont be dissapointed by the acceleration of the aviator. The v6 eco pulls hard. Its the kind of pull you dont expect from a 3row suv

@Todd Saeger, yes my Uncle has one. I am trying to get him to let me drive it so I can check it out. Is the quality really good???

@@eltoro13 yes I heard the same thing. Coming from Lexus and Infiniti with no problems other than regular maintenance, I don't know anything about Lincoln's quality. Although I am about to make that leap over to the Aviator to see, lol.

I bet its acceleration probably smells like the competitions exhaust lol

Don’t buy a first year model of anything

Not everyone wants/needs the size of the navigator.

Kurt Vonfricken and i get that. My point is that the navigator is their flagship and the aviator is not. Therefore it should not cost as much as navigator.

😂

This Aviator is going to be nice!

Yeah my only concern is quality my husband and I normally purchase Toyota, Lexus and Mercedes and the quality is what we go for. I wonder if the aviator have many technical issues or engine issues???

I missed it. What was wrong?

@@kurtvonfricken6829 you hear someone in the background say, "Uuhhhhm.... Yep," during the voice over. Lol

I think 0-60 is around 5.0

Jacob Nyambu hard to say, a fully loaded one is like 80k, at that price you can get the navigator. If youre okay getting a lower trim level with less bells and whistles you could come in around 65k, thats decent value for money and undercuts a lot of its german competitors. The options for this are just very tempting and I think contribute to a lot of the aviators appeal in the first place. And they force-package a lot of the options together so for example air suspension might be $2500, but to get that you need the reserve II package which is another $5000 and comes with stuff you might not want. Same thing if you just want to add a pano sunroof or larger wheels or their perfect position seats... Wish individual options existed bc this thing gets very expensive very quickly.

Jake Stoler Fully loaded Navigator is $100 k. Aviator is more advanced and sporty.

It's easy enough to look it up. MotorTrend shows: 0-60 5.4 secs. (for regular & hybrid model), 1/4 mile 14.1 sec. @ 97.7 mph (regular) & 13.8 sec. @ 102.3 mph (hybrid). Braking 60 - 0 is 124 ft. (regular) & 119 ft. (hybrid). The regular model weighs 5,167 lbs. (can tow 6,700 lbs. ) & the hybrid is quite a bit heavier at 5,838 lbs. (can tow 5,600 lbs.).

Alex Youngberg It wouldn't go down that much in value when used MKX's can still sell for more than that

Lol

Stfu

I think it’s good on fords behalf for doing that and catching it before it gets delivered to customers. GM would ship it and ignore complaints until someone gets hurt

@@michaelmcmillon5933 Exactly!!!

@@michaelmcmillon5933 what do you mean it's good that Ford is doing that? They absolutely HAVE to do that, they are delivering vehicles that have major issues with huge drivability concerns. If you haven't already read the article done by the Detroit Free Press, I strongly suggest you do. It is shocking how bad Ford has botched the launch for both the Explorer and Aviator.

I've had mine for 2 years now and its been a great car. Haven't had any problems with it.

Hater.

@@gjrip moron

Not really. But it has okay performance. MotorTrend shows: 0-60 5.4 secs. (for regular & hybrid model), 1/4 mile 14.1 sec. @ 97.7 mph (regular) & 13.8 sec. @ 102.3 mph (hybrid).

Chares Canny and it won’t age well

How is it a fail when every other manufacturer is doing the same thing and have been for years now? They all follow one-another, roughly.

That "look" is functional. Initiated and hated at Mercedes Benz first, it allows a driver to avoid dropping the eyes to see the screen. It also allows the dash to be design friendly eliminating the need to factor in a screen. Lastly allows the screen size to continue to grow in diameter. Actually the opposite of your statement is true. It is very thought out.

I have a Continental and the monitor is in the dash. I think it is better, but the smart minds have decided what they think we want and need. A decision not taken lightly I'm sure.

@ Um....not sure if that's physically possible, but I do listen to both sides of a debate. You should try it sometimes.

I was going to say the same thing; seems mislabeled as a Road Test.

Yeah i hate when they do these type of road tests, but it's usually because they couldn't get it at their test track. That's usually the reason.

Its more of an ad.

Excellent choice.

Toyota, GM, all have recalls.

Harley Jackson every single manufacturer has recalls every year on almost all models, the people in this comment section are just retarded.

So? recalls are nothing but to make your cars better

Jaime Acosta I suppose. Cars, on average, are made of 30,000 to 40,000 individual parts and in 2016 alone there were about 72 million passenger cars produced worldwide . When you have that many cars with that many parts, it's almost a statistical certainty a manufacturer is going to have some defects somewhere. Recalls are the mechanisms manufacturers use to remedy those manufacturing defects.

Because they aren't in Maryland where their test track is located. This is a press launch in California...

not even in the same class....let alone same quality

I would buy a Palisade or a Telluride in a heartbeat but the power this thing makes just takes the bank.

But at least the repairs on the Hyundai would be covered the whole time you have the car.
