	Lincoln Aviator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There was little which differentiated the Aviator's styling from that of the larger Navigator, and this may have contributed to the Aviator's disappointing sales.
		Originally, the Aviator was supposed to be on hiatus for the 2006 model year and reappear based on the CD3 platform.
		However, Ford scrapped the Aviator name, and will be replaced by the mid/compact-based Lincoln MKX crossover SUV, which was unveiled at the 2006 North American International Auto Show.

		The Aviator’s styling themes include a large Lincoln signature grille with dark argent vanes flanked by large clear-lens headlights, which give the new SUV what Chief Designer Mike Arbaugh calls a “bigger presence.” Round fog lamps are built into the front bumper fascia.
		Lincoln says the Aviator’s legroom is 5 inches better and its headroom is 3 inches taller than the Acura MDX, its closest rival.
		Lincoln will retain the five-button keypad that is mounted outside the driver’s door and lets a person armed with the correct code gain access to the vehicle.

	usnews.com: Auto reviews: 2003 Lincoln Aviator (3/1/03)
		The Aviator is thoughtfully configured inside so that each occupant enjoys his or her own travel zone, especially with the no-extra-cost captain's chairs available in the second row of seats.
		The Aviator shares a grille and many other features with the Lincoln Navigator but is 13 inches shorter, 6 inches lower, and about 1,000 pounds lighter.
		With such spirited competitors, Lincoln aimed for a combination of road mastery, cargo space, and big-truck towing and off-road capabilities, while maintaining the comfort and smoothness that are Lincoln hallmarks.

		Aviator remains an integral part of the Lincoln lineup and is evolving to meet customer demand.
		Lincoln’s next-generation Aviator will "crossover" to a car-based platform, enhancing Lincoln’s lineup, while maintaining its place as Lincoln’s entry in the mid-sized SUV segment.
		The new face incorporates a nearly 2-by-4-inch Lincoln star and a bright horizontal blade by the lower air intake.

	LEXUS GX 470 vs LINCOLN AVIATOR
		The Aviator is similarly related to the Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer.
		The Aviator has most of its controls powered, but the seat back recline is a manual lever on the side of the seat.
		The Aviator has a thoroughly modern and flexible powertrain that is well mated with the way that owners use this type of vehicle.

	2003 Lincoln Aviator Review Road Test Review- ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine
		In fact, during my Aviator test drive, some of my neighbors just naturally assumed that the chrome grille-laden SUV with the Navigator styling that I was driving was a Navigator.
		Lincoln officials said the resemblance is intentional, since the Navigator's styling was successful in bringing new customers to Lincoln after the vehicle's 1998 debut.
		The Aviator is based on the Ford Explorer, so it's several hundred pounds lighter in weight and more than a foot shorter than the bigger Navigator.

	Carpages.ca - 2004 Lincoln Aviator Concept
		Lincoln tries something different with its requisite wood trim too, featuring it at the lower edge of the dash rather than the usual placement across the upper middle.
		Lincoln is saying that its production Aviator will combine on- and off-road capabilities, but doesn't go so far as to admit it has included a low gear for serious 4x4 duties.
		Lincoln does say the crossover offers "generous ground clearance," which at least shows that delivering something more than a glorified station wagon is part of the luxury divisions plans.

	2005 Lincoln Aviator Reviews - ForbesAutos.com
		The Aviator, released in the fall of 2002 as a 2003 model, isn't enough to bring Lincoln back to its glory days, but it is a step in the right direction.
		The Aviator is based on a body-on-frame truck platform, the same one used for the Ford Explorer and the Mercury Mountaineer.
		The Aviator closely resembles the larger Lincoln Navigator in outward appearance, but it is a more-nimble alternative to buyers who demand luxury but don't want the Navigator's heft.

		The 2005 Lincoln Aviator is a surprisingly enjoyable luxury SUV that takes all that's right about the Navigator and applies it to a smaller, more manageable package.
		In addition to third-row seating, the Lincoln Aviator gives buyers the choice of having twin bucket seats in the second row or an optional 40/20/40 second-row bench that will accommodate a total of seven in the vehicle.
		The NHTSA has not tested an Aviator, but the Explorer's scores -- a perfect five stars for side impacts, four stars for frontal impacts involving the driver and five stars for frontal impacts involving the passenger -- are indicative of the Lincoln's crashworthiness.

		Aviator's structure, with fully boxed chassis rails, shares with Explorer a wheelbase of 113.7 inches and independent suspension elements for all four wheels.
		Frame rails on Aviator show stronger cross braces to support suspension mechanisms and make the chassis even stiffer, while upgraded suspension control arms, bushings and stabilizer bars are in place to negate body roll but also enhance responses from the steering gear.
		Aviator's optional AWD Control Trac system also relates to safety, as the device automatically monitors tire traction and selectively channels the engine torque to front and rear wheels in varying proportions to maintain a steady grip on slick roads.

		Falling under Ford Motor Company’s umbrella, the Lincoln Aviator is a late bloomer — especially when compared to its cousins, Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer, both of which enjoyed huge success in the early SUV years.
		Aviator is positioned as an option for young, affluent consumers who are finally waking up to the fact that they really don’t need a SUV that can accommodate half a little league team and all of their gear.
		The Aviator’s satin nickel-theme interior is every bit as elegant as what you would find in a luxury sedan: American burl walnut wood trim, creamy leather upholstery and white instrument lighting.

		Keeping with the aviation theme, lap tables with a leather-trimmed pad deploy from the rear center console to be used for a laptop computer, snacks or travel games in the second row.
		Aviator’s four reclining captain-style chairs have integrated leg rests for an extra level of comfort and luxury.
		As a representation of the next-generation Aviator, the teaser combines sporty lines, a broad stance and generous ground clearance to assert the vehicle’s off-road capability while echoing its on-road refinement.

	2003 Lincoln Aviator Overview
		Aviator’s cargo capacity of 77 cubic feet is nearly identical to the segment leader, which is based on a minivan platform.
		The 2003 Lincoln Aviator was designed from the onset to complement the Lincoln Navigator, with its commanding presence and stance.
		Aviators with all-wheel drive that are paired with the optional AdvanceTrac™ traction and stability enhancement system need only one wheel with traction to get under way because the two systems combined allow torque to be shifted side-to-side and front-to-rear.

	2003 Lincoln Aviator Kitty Hawk Edition Review
		The vehicle name is Aviator, which leads to the Kitty Hawk Edition, the official vehicle of the Experimental Aircraft Association's ``Countdown to Kitty Hawk'' celebration.
		The gently-rounded two- box SUV shape becomes Lincoln courtesy of a large, bold chrome- trimmed grille and bulging hood with a small clerestory strip down the center.
		Other than the high-eyepoint driver's perspective from its height, the Aviator could be a contemporary American luxury sedan in its ride and handling, with a smooth, moderately firm and well-damped ride and good handling considering its high center of gravity.

	2003 Lincoln Aviator Car Reviews - The Car Connection
		The Aviator offers a 77-cubic-foot cargo capacity, which Lincoln (derisively) likes to say "is 94 percent of the segment leader (Acura's MDX), which is based on a minivan platform" (the Honda Odyssey).
		Lincoln expects 65 percent of Aviator owners to choose AdvanceTrac, which not only provides traction wherever it finds it among the four wheels, it basically serves as a vehicle stability program.
		Lincoln still means American luxury and Aviator doesn't disappoint in that department, again mimicking the Navigator's satin nickel finish on switchgear, premium leather seats, burl walnut trim and white LED lighting.

		In essence, all that Lincoln dealers have had to sell is the LS entry-luxury sedan, the Town Car and the Navigator sport-utility.
		Indeed, they hope the Aviator's smaller dimensions and lower price will lure buyers, whose average age is expected to be about 45 years old, a decade younger than Navigator owners, with more of them being women.
		Under the hood, the Aviator is outfitted with Ford's 4.6-liter DOHC V8 engine, rated at 302 horsepower and 300 pounds-feet of torque.
