Lincoln wants to be Acura with rebadged front drivers.

The RDX is a rebadged crv, no reason an escape can't be rebadged as a lincoln.

Granted it would need to be more than an emblem change, but I don't think anyone would make the claim that a navigator is a blatant rebadged expedition.

There's a difference there, though. The RDX doesn't look anything like the CR-V to the average consumer. On the contrary, the Lincoln version of the Edge looks almost IDENTICAL to the Edge. That stuff matters.

And FWIW, does anyone buy Navigators anymore? Anybody looking for an SUV in that class buys an Escalade or Range Rover at this point.

Pretty impressive, making a compact Audi SUV off of an old Hyundai coupe...


Yeah it's the result of a partnership with Hyundai. The next Genesis will be based upon the old Audi 5000.
