    Actually no, they did a lot more to the Aviator then a rebadge/grille and some interior trim. -The engine: 302hp-300ft/lb Cobra DOHC 4.6L, unique to the Aviator (and still more powerful than the updated V8s in the current EX/Mountaineer) -much more powerful than 05 and older Ex/Mounty...

    2007 Lincoln Aviator

    Kinda retro look in the front. Side profile looks very stubby, in a bad way. Back end sort of reminds me of the Buick Rendezvous. I'm sure it'll be nice if thats the type of vehicle you're looking for. I would take the Buick Enclave over the MKX without blinking. The 3.6L Caddy engine...

    2007 Lincoln Aviator

    The Buick looks just like a VW Toureg from the back, yuck IMO. Otherwise, it looks much nicer than the Aviator "replacement". I'm glad they are not carrying the Aviator name over to that V6 minivan like vehicle.:rolleyes: Also, IMO big mistake for Lincoln to do away with the waterfall...

    Aviator issues

    I'm aware of and do take the relatively higher compression ratio into account when I mix the lower octane fuel. The Aviator DOHC V8 CR is actually higher at 10.3:1. I also own a Kia Amanti with a 10.0:1 compression ratio and the manual states that regular is fine to run (91+ for "best"...

    Aviator issues

    Hi All, Bought my '03 Aviator 2WD used 3 months ago w/35k miles on it. Before I bought it, I had a Ford dealer service department run its VIN number to check for its service history. -All maintenance was done every 5k and the only warranty work it had was for a malfunctioning tailgate glass...
