Although I knew the history from the beginning, I always think of the F4U Corsair fighter plane from WWII when I hear this car mentioned. I may be biased on that due to my job, but I kind of thought that’s what Lincoln was thinking too, as the premiere model for its first year came in Aviator Blue exterior and interior, which in a world of bland, plain mostly gray, white, and black vehicles, stood out.
Comparing the Corair to a top trim Escape versus an Aviator to a top trim Explorer, it appears the latter is a considerably better value proposition. Using the "Build and Price" websites for each vehicle, a top trim, fully loaded Escape runs about $40K (MSRP). A moderately optioned Corsair comes in at more than $56K. In contrast, a fully loaded top trim Explorer (e.g. ST plus options, Titanium trim) pushes or exceeds $60K compared to about $65K for a moderately optioned (Reserve trim) Aviator. The price premiums amount to about $16,000 (Escape vs Corsair) versus $5k (Explorer versus Aviator.) Of course, these difference are based on MSRP figures rather than real world pricing negotiated with a dealer. And the "value" proposition depends on what a consumer is willing or able to pay as well as a consumer's priorities. But the bottom line appear to be that an Aviator is a much better buy than a loaded Explorer while it's difficult to make the same argument for the Corsair versus the Escape. And considering the far better specs of the Aviator versus the Escape, a price premium of $9-$10K for the Aviator versus the Corsair looks worth the extra money.
LINCOLN WHERE EVERYTHING LIKE A BMW IS AN OPTION. VERY NICE VEHICLE BUT THE PRICE IS WAY TO HIGH ! 50K IS STILL WAY TO EXPENSIVE.WAIT UNTIL MID 2021 AND THE PRICE WILL BE 35% LESS . THESE ARE SITTING ON LOTS ALL OVER AMERICA
For starters Lincolns are nothing but overpriced Fords. Now they go and steal the Corsair name from Chevrolet. Corsair was a rear engine model car from Chevrolet back in the 50s and 60s. My entire family works for the Buffalo NY plant and tried to get me to take a job there. Their theiving ways is one of several reasons I would never work or own a Lincoln or Ford. I'll stick with my Dodges and Jeeps. They're both better than Fords or Lincolns.
Dull design on the front end. Outside temp on the heads-up display? That's so stupid it makes me angry. And the price is simply ridiculous. Save $15K and get a Telluride with every option and a third row.
Why would you make such a foolish comment....there is no perfectly executed vehicle. And BTW, the wife has owned her Corsair going on 1 year...NOT ONE SINGLE PROBLEM and the build quality is on par if not better than Audi and BMW, both of which she passed on to get the Corsair.
It is all style. Some will like it, some will not. He doesn't yell, shout, wave his arms, (like a Scotty Kilmer), use hyperbole, or clever vulgarity (like savagegeese). Everyone is different
This is #1 in the segment imo
I love this review. Nice style and approach. A good change from the typical.
Really good and fair review. Have never watched you before, I'll keep an eye out!

Launch All Vipers Lincoln themselves refer to the fighter plane as well
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Less than 2 minutes in and brilliant!
I wish he did more reviews. By far my fav. Keep it up bud.
Beautiful inside and out. Perfect other than Lincoln dealer body.

Lincoln should have paid him to do
the commercial for far less.
This looks like a Chrysler 300 in the front and Range rover in the back at an affordable price
At first glance (in windowed mode) I thought Clifford's hair was blowing the doors off that hat.

Somebody's high. Rectoliniar ? It's better than what again,,and the seats move 24 ways-does one include into a real name brand?
Great presentation!!!!

Who is this hippie telling me about my new car

car gurus worst company to put your car in
THE MKC WAS HANDSOME??? Ummm, no.
Well for the most part the update grill helped improved the front end of the MKC
Hahahahahahahaha
Such poor build quality. So many problems. Price is insanely high for something not perfectly executed
Why would you make such a foolish comment....there is no perfectly executed vehicle.

Stick with a toyota/lexus
You’re not the best. Brush up watching Alex on Auto’s or maybe savage geese. Not engaging at all.

I’m laughing at the foot tuck in the storytelling
How do seats move in 24 different ways? 😂
