Another Look

2007 Lincoln Aviator goes crossover

The new 2006 Lincoln Zephyr (far left) may have been the star of the show at Lincoln’s recent press unveil of its entry level luxury sedan, but the 2007 Lincoln Aviator (right in picture) may be Ford’s ticket to the hot crossover market. The radically new version of the Aviator will be shown at auto shows starting early next year. A first look reveals a substantially sleeker, more upscale and attractive design for the Aviator. LEDs run straight across the back, creating a signature look, but aside from the stunning curvaceous styling from a company that’s been big on straight lines and sharp angles, the biggest surprise may be the new grille, a revival of the egg crate Lincoln grille and a departure from the vertical bars characterizing current Lincolns. Lincoln executives say a “cockpit-forward design” means more usable interior space. The new Aviator will also feature raised “Command Seating” and a huge sunroof.
