mosh00 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I'm one of those unhappy customers. All they would have to do is flash the firmware for the gage cluster and we'd have it. Heck I'd even pay labor to have it done, but local dealer won't do it because Lincoln doesn't support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltcmusic Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Glad mines is a 2018.9. All firmware, quality issue, and recall already factored in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkx-wanders Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 My #1 reason for new MKX is for the very-last 3.7L V6 ever built. Of course I like the newer Nautilus grille, but it comes with weaker 2.0L turbo 4 now. It's the same engine found in MKC, and some people don't call it fast too. I think you and I are the only MKX 3.7L V6 enthusiasts on this planet. I just love that naturally aspirated sound, when I open her up with the windows down. waltcmusic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love that naturally aspirated sound, when I open her up with the windows down. We have one and I’d have to agree. I would have rather had the 2.7LEB after owning a Fusion and Escape 2.0LEB and a F150 3.5LEB. I got used to the low end torque. Unfortunately there was only one vehicle in stock within 100 miles and it had the 3.7L. It’s not bad at all but I would have preferred the 2.7L.

Yeah, N.A. with the top down is the way to go. Super Charging the 911 is a near future project. mkx-wanders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I can develop this EB appreciation with upcoming Aviator :-P (I am still keeping the MKX) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to talk the wife into an Aviator PHEV in a few years but so far she’s not going for it. Then again she didn’t think she wanted a MKX at first either (I don’t like the grill).

(I love the split wing grill...gives it an eagle profile) If they pair up the 3.0TT with the Electric Motor, that would be a beast of a hybrid.

That’s exactly what they’re doing - already confirmed. 3.0TT Plug In Hybrid. I meant to say she didn’t like the grille. I like the new one better but I still like the old one too.

So far they’ve only announced the PHEV but I think it’s safe to say they’ll have a non hybrid version as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos36 Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Lincoln has a sure winner with the Aviator's features fulfilling a wide variety of buyer's wants & needs. Personally, I have reservations about the linear dash fashion and I detest the standup/floating displays that seem to permeate contemporary vehicles. An inspection of a live Aviator may change my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
