@Broken Native Quality of American cars has improved a lot in the past 15 years. I drive a 2011 Ford flex 3.5 L twin turbo tunned at over 420 horsepower and 435 lbs of torque, 6 seater leather, 3 sunroofs, etc. At 157,000 miles, it is very fast and sporty, no issues (changed struts because bad roads and headlight bulbs because i drive with lights on at all times), no plans to replace the car yet as they go to 250,000 miles (I take care of my cars with Mobil 1 oil and changing fluids reguarly). I would imagine a 10 year newer Lincoln (not Ford) model would be much better. By the way, I used to be an Acura guy but I switched because I wanted more power and room. Additionally I gave away my 1997 Ford Mustang in running condition (no known issues) at 250,000 miles and that gave me confidence in Ford brand.

It was clear to me that he liked the Genesis more (which is okay) by the way he glossed over most of the aviator’s cool features and went on about silly features (in this class) like the seat adjustment from the seat behind- can you imagine kids (you know, the people who will predominantly sit back there) being able to mess with the seats in front of them?!

The Scottish leather on the Aviator is sublime, and the space and luxury, tech, power, warranty, practicality package...you get for the same to less compared to those smaller vehicles...there's little compromise I promise. It's as impressive as it looks 👌 what sold us is cargo area with 3rd row down. Better than the Armada we traded in!!! In fact better space with or without 3rd row than the Armada!!

Can the second row passenger change the front row passenger seat if he/she is sitting in the front seat? I hope not.

[@vanceforrest4085]

Thought I was trading my second Genesis for a third one. 2023 G80 to trade for a GV80 2.5 sport Prestige and after the disappointment of the rock hard seats I walked next door and got an 2024 MDX Advanced. Six months later traded the MDX for a 2023 Aviator Black Label Black/alpine chalet (absolutely stunning) when I asked for $10 k off the $82,225 msrp and they finally said ok deal. Fords %2.9 48/60 months financing made it a no brainer and got out from Acura %4.9….for a really special to me luxury vehicle.

[@LexxLuther100]

Which one is more reliable. Better warranty and can be bought not leased.

[@MostlyElectrolytes]

Looking to get a new SUV for the wife...screwed up and looked at the GV80 Friday. Been running through the other dealerships and models this weekend and I think that we realized that we're just wasting our time looking for something else. Now we decided that we're not going down the European route....been there, done that for years and they make great cars, but I'm over the whole $700 oil changes and crap. For the price there is no competition in my opinion. We're kind of going back and forth on deciding if we want to go for the 3.5T Advanced or Prestige package; there are some nice things in the Prestige, but to be honest everything that I really care about is in the Advance package....I'm just not used to not buying something fully loaded. Biggest problem to be honest is that there are zero manufacturer incentives and I enjoy the "game" of negotiating and the dealer is pretty tough because there just isn't any inventory. I'm going to give it a week or two and see how many of these things move and know how much leverage I've got to get them to eat about half of the cost of the additional package.

[@monkeybearmax]

Well? We are waiting! What did u get them to give you?

[@MostlyElectrolytes]

@@monkeybearmaxI'll give you the short version....we hit a bunch of dealerships; there was only two GV80's in the Prestige trim and color that we wanted on the entire east coast at the time. Dealerships were marking them up and there is no way in hell that I'd ever do that. We ended up getting a 2022 MDX Advance. Paid $500 over dealer invoice and got KBB for my trade in which was more than I paid for it two years ago....couldn't walk away from that kind of a deal. It's not as fancy as the GV80 is, but it's the wife's car and she loves it. Only thing I hate is the infotainment is a touchpad. It's just not a good market to buy in right now. We'll probably hold onto this for about 2 years and trade it in when things settle down. There'll be a lot of updated models out there and I think that the GV80 is going to make some manufacturers step up their game.

[@monkeybearmax]

@@MostlyElectrolytes thanks for the update. Sounds like you got a better deal and the MDX is a nice looking suv. Enjoy!

Will you compare GV80 to X5 ?

Will be in the market for a new SUV by August 2021. Looking to get a 2022 model only. So far its this car vs the redesigned Buick Enclave Avenir for 2022. I saw Buick's Avenir 2022 model on KZbin recently and was very impressed. Tell me, does this GV80 have a review mirror camara? I experienced that great feature when I test drove the Enclave 2021 model 2 weeks ago. Very nice feature. I'm also concerned that the GV80 will be much much smaller in cargo capacity. But clearly its a beautiful car. As always, great review!

[@SamCarLegion]

Thank you. Unfortunately it doesn’t have that rear view mirror camera

[@SamCarLegion]

I love that feature

[@Dulitzlives]

@@SamCarLegion I know its great. You can have the car fully loaded to the brim and still be able to see out tge rear view mirror. In addition, when in reverse it greatly enhances the view of traffic coming towards you from from tge right or left.

[@pimpindnice910]

you’re of the only people that’s going to cross shop those two SUVs. Not saying the Enclave is a bad vehicle, but it’s not I the same Lux class as the Genesis or Lincoln. REMEMBER, The Cadillac XT7 (slightly upmarket enclave) can’t measure up to those two so it’s downmarket cousin (enclave) certainly cant

[@joecool9739]

Actually that model Enclave is only for the Chinese market It wont be coming to the Americas But youre right, its exceptionally luxurious and many people will cross shop it with the Aviator and GV80

[@joannsanders242]

Has anyone noticed an issue with the paint on the 2023 Aviator? All of the cars on the lot had these weird vertical dirt streaks going down the sides and back. The salesman said they just needed to be washed, but I’ve just never seen anything like that. I never wash my Explorer (just let the rain do it-lol), and I’ve never seen anything like it. I also noticed it on a few 2023 Explorers on the lot. Could be it a new Ford paint issue??? I love the Aviator, but that gave me pause.
