This is the only recent Lincoln concept Ive liked...

Id like mine in black please...With the 600 horse V-10 out of the Shelby Cobra concept.
Other than that, the current Towncar holds more appeal than any of Lincolns concepts or recent truck offerings.

I think some of you are seeing what you want to see when it comes to the Escalade.
Look at the first Escalade. It was a Suburban with a different grill and hood. Add in a bit of wood inside, and charge $10K more for it. The Escalade EXT does have a different front clip. However, from the A-pillar back it is the same as the Avalanche......... it just has some lower body cladding and different taillights. The interior, once again, has nice wood trim. For this, you pay $15K more.
I think for the base engine on the Lincoln truck, you will see either an upgraded version of the 5.4 DOHC, or the 5.4 3-valve. However, you will note that there is very litte being said about the engine. I think this is because you will see a S/C 5.4 offered also (there will one available on the Navigator also, on the R model). So, you will have a different front grille and taillights/tailgate........... different engines, and an upgraded interior (how they can make the Lariet interior look much nicer is beyond me.......... short of using real wood). There will also be a larger wheel/tire package and different suspension tuning.
The Lincoln truck is supposed to undercut the Escalade EXT by as much as $7K in fully loaded trim.
Frankly, if they offer the supercharged engine and 4wd/Awd......... I will be buying one. I have wanted a Kings Ranch SuperCrew for as long as they have made them........... I just wanted the Lightning / HD engine in it. Looks like I will finally get my wish.
This truck will succeed where the Blackwood failed because it is a real truck.............. that is able to do real truck things. This is what doomed the Blackwood. It was a real pretty, useless 2wd truck.

I'm really surprised the Aviator concept isn't getting a better reception here. I really like this vehicle. It's everything visually that the soap-bar Porsche Cayenne was supposed to be. I believe this design has great potential. FINALLY - a truly distinctive grille and front end, and one that manages to look modern while still providing some classic Lincoln cues. I love the stance, the flared fenders and the low roof/chopped window look of the greenhouse. This is one of the best Lincoln concepts I have seen in years.

Aside from the LT, these concepts are just bad-looking all around. I hope to God they look better in person. The LT has a lot of potential and I do like the looks of it, but I dont think it doesnt have the gangster appeal that an EXT does. I guess I'll know for sure when we see what Jean Paul pulls up in his next video.

Looks like no special engine, no special exterior, no AWD......
In general spruced up F150???
