New Leader Shifts Lincoln's EV Plans - Lincoln is Expected to Discontinue Gasoline Versions of the Corsair and Aviator, While Its First EV, a Three-Row Crossover, is Expected in Late 2025I saw the EV9 over the weekend. It looked like a good product with some nice features (including heated/cooled 2nd row seats). It sat lower than I expected it to. Higher than a Flex, but not tall like an Expedition.
Agreed.....it made me think of the '04 Zephyr concept...
Full on rebadges are like the '05 F-150 and Mark LT, or the original Escalade, which literally slapped a Cadillac logo on the yukon and didn't change a thing.
Platform sharing is like the Edge/Nautilus or Explorer/Aviator now - same platform, but completely different shapes.
The current Expy/Navigator and the GM triplets are a step between rebadge and platform sharing, where they get unique front/rear treatments, and unique interiors, but otherwise share the same underpinnings and sheetmetal between the ends.
That's the standard in this segment (GM, Ford, Nissan, Toyota all do it), and frankly, it'd be a waste of funds to try to completely rebody the same form at that size. It's the one segment where this approach is acceptable.Tue, 05 Sep 2023 17:39:29 +0000
