    I'm pretty sure the email template thing is on me

    You auto follow threads you post in. As for the missing words, I'll look into it.

    Wait... It's a 3.0 turbo 6 with eAssist and brand new and amazing and all..... But it produces less torque and merely 8 more horsepower than the GM 3.0 turbo that's been out a few years now?

    Aviator was the original name of the concept car for the MKX. But most people who even know of the Aviator know of it as the Explorer based Lincoln.

    Happy birthday
  13. Drew Dowdell
    No, I don't think that'd be a good name for the MKC...

    Well if the new Explorer based crossover is to become Aviator (where is that thing anyway? I expected it a long time ago), we'd have Navigator, Aviator, Nautilus.... I'm sure there is a good name in there for the MKC. I'm not sure why they didn't take this redesign as a chance to rename it. That said, I really like the looks of this so far, looks very upscale and back into the class Lincoln should be playing in. I did like the current MKX exterior and most of the interior, but the dash and center stack design was enough of a letdown for me to not consider one. The seats in the MKX are excellent and could/should just carry over.

    Again being so one dimensional. Yes the GX is dated, but a 302 hp V8 is still going to drive smoother and more torquey than a 302hp 2.0T. A 2.0T in the GX would be completely inappropriate... you'd be into the boost all the time.

    The CLS has been one of my favorites in the Benz lineup for a long time, but this looks like they phoned in the redesign.

    Well at least that builder's heart was in the right place...

    Hope all our US fans are having a great holiday!

    Exactly! I just like the look so much better. The Envision is fine for its target market.

    No... he and his wife did something related to some video game they play that I don't remember. There were two weapons on the altar, one of which was a pipe wrench.... apparently this is the first weapon you get in the game. It was symbolizing them going into battle together. It was a very un-traditional wedding.

    My best friend, who is a lover of history and irony, got married on the 5th of November 2016. This was his gift to me for being his best man.

    Armed and ready for the holidays

    I wonder what our differences in ages are.... if effortless torque is fancy, my old '81 is the automotive equivalent of Cher in a glitter bath. Also... that means that EVs are fancier than any ICE could ever be. Joking aside, the torque in the Acadia is plenty strong and you don't need to rev the engine to get it. That was true with the prior V6, and it was something I harped on them for... but it is no longer the case. Again, the comparison here isn't Turbo V6es... Spend the same number of dollars as Buick V6 over at Benz, BMW, or even Lexus, and you're getting a Turbo-4 or a less powerful NA V6. The GLE gets a 302hp NA V6 compared to the Enclave's 310... but Buick isn't even supposed to be competing on that level.

    Turbos are fancy?
  25. Drew Dowdell
    Lincolns are very fancy Fords then. The XTS is dead man walking, they're putting as little money into it as they can till they can push it out the door in 3 years. The latest V6 is not torqueless. It's not a turbo V6, but it's better than any Turbo-4 that manufacturers are trying to foist on us these days. I just had an Acadia SLT for 1000 miles and the engine was great and a big improvement over the outgoing model (which I despised).... but it was saddled with a 6-speed
