In addition to Ford Explorer-like Lincoln grille arrested in Los Angeles?

2011 Lincoln Grill Ford Explorer spy shot

Although these are not the clearest spy photos in September you will see this week. Regardless, are interesting when they show what looks like a next-gen-2011 Ford Explorer the familiar face of the current line up in Lincoln City will be perfected. Sure, it is not very surprising that indicates, for a luxury Lincoln, a product of Ford pedestrian - happens all the time - but why the Explorer?

Note that Lincoln has a bit 'of links to other Ford models namely, the MKX and MKT. Also, remember that the next Explorer will be the migration of a minor car-based cross-platform ... CUVs and ask how they can support the brand Lincoln.

So, just what we see is camo'd vehicle on the roads? It would be a new browser (or a rebound in ex-Explorer) based Aviator, but a mule put together by the parties, not the intention of the production, or something completely new? Beats us. Take a closer look at the pictures and evaluate for themselves. Thanks for the photos, George!
