Lincoln Resurrects Aviator Nameplate For All New SUV

Given the direction Lincoln is headed, it’s unlikely we’ll see a return of the Town Car name anytime soon. The Town Coupe, on the other hand, seems ripe for a resurrection (as a sporty four-door SUV, of course).

Speculation aside, model names are back at Lincoln Motor Company, and the first of a series of all-new utility models will bear a short-lived moniker that disappeared after 2005: Aviator. The original Aviator, resembling a Navigator washed in too-warm water, served as the brand’s second SUV from 2003 to 2005. A 2004 concept vehicle of the same name heralded the design of the 2007 MKX.

If it doesn't fly would it be false advertising? ;)

A fancy Explorer like it was last time? You can't have too many SUV's these days...

@vdiv I can guarantee it will fly. Come by for a test drive. You can drive it off the bluffs and you will indeed fly.
