Lincoln Aviator shown in Zephyr shot

Some folks over at The Car Connection somehow came across this shot on Lincoln's media site that shows off the new Aviator that will be debuted at the Detroit Auto Show in January. It's just a teaser, but we can easily conclude now that the ass end of this thing ain't that bad at all. The Aviator will need to be dressed in its best if Ford and Lincoln hope to steal sales from the likes of the Lexus RX330 and Nissan Murano. TCC guesses that a 245-hp V6 and AWD will make up the running gear for the vehicle, which, if true, forces us to wonder why such an engine isn't under the Fusion's hood.
