RENDERED SPECULATION: What IF The All-new Lincoln Aviator Got The X6/GLE Coupe Treatment?

If you had a pulse and attended the 2018 New York Auto Show (NYIAS), it was clear that Lincoln once again did a helluva job bringing an A-rated product to the show. Dubbed the all-new Lincoln Aviator, it's another sport-utility vehicle offering in the Lincoln product portfolio.

Considering the success and buzz the all-new Navigator has created, this is a big deal. Mostly because the Nautilus is such a non event.

The Aviator has that certain something that is lacking in its other vehicles. It's panache with a dash of sex appeal. Oh, and it's an SUV, so, it will definitely sell. The biggest reason we like it and think it's gonna go gangbusters?

It's essentially a Lincoln Range Rover Velar. Except we'd feel much more comfortable putting one of these in our driveway because the Brits aren't exactly well known for having the most reliable vehicles.

All that said, a creative Photoshop artist decided to do a little nip/tuck on the all-new Aviator. Now, we're presented with the Aviator Coupe, which has been created in the same style of the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe.

So, what do YOU think of the sloping roofline on the all-new Aviator?

I don't know about a GLE version but the version that was presented I could see really minting money

The fastback is a non-starter- Ford will not waste its time - THe rear three across seats were a little small - but otherwise - it was nice looking. It now depends on what survives into production

That would be ugly as sin, but the X6 is pretty ugly, so...

If Lincoln wants to do the "coupe"-thing, they woudl be better served going Velar/Evoque. We don't need a 3rd bubble-back SUV. Well, i guess it would be a 4th if you include the Model X

Indeed and it's the Aviator that is the real indication of where Lincoln is headed. The Continental and MKZ were so stopgap they can't hide it. The MKZ is a laughable quickie. The Nautilus is a good update, but the Navigator and Aviator are the real deal. Now if they can make the Corsair upright in it's styling like the Aviator rather than the used soap bar look of the MKC, they could very well be a real force again.

Lincoln would be better off getting the original Aviator, as shown, to market as fast as they can and then turn their attention to replacing the ancient MKC asap with the rumored Corsair. That includes providing the full set of driver assists/safety features that Toyotas and Hondas come standard with and the MKC doesn't even offer. BTW, Corsair was one of the 58 Edsel series as was the Ranger. Hopefully Corsair the second time around will be as successful as the Ranger was in its second usage.

Great. But about 10 years too late.
