The Aviator was an attempt by Lincoln to have their brand associated with aviation and pilots, an association they hadn't had since they discontinued their Continental-United model. Four people purchased the Lincoln Aviator, and 75% of those who did can't remember anything remarkable about it.

Cars.com has 13 consumer reviews for the 2005 Lincoln Aviator...perfect 5 star rating.

"To me it's kinda like a sports car/suv"

"It's got a uni-body which is good for towing as opposed to the Explorer which does not."

"This car is bangin"

My dad got one as a company car a long time ago. Bought it new and it needed a new engine at around 18k miles. Piece of shit.

No, it's because they ran out of Ns and Gs but had all the other letters left over from the Navigator factory.

I always thought this was a dumb name for a SUV. Like calling a car Astronaut or Longshoreman.

The Aviator is to the Navigator what the Tahoe is to the Suburban, right? A smaller box.
