Lincoln has been selling the second-generation Aviator in the U.S. since 2019. It received a thorough facelift for the 2025 model year, but is starting to feel its age.

Chery is one of them, and alongside a plan to launch its vehicles in Canada next year, the company has expressed interest in building its cars locally.

This Firm Has Just Turned A McLaren 750S Into A CLK GTR
Some might see it as sacrilege, but it's better than using a Pontiac Fiero to mimic a Ferrari This Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR replica might take the cake as one of the wackiest creations from this year's SEMA Show. Viewed from afar, it almost looks like a real one, sporting similar proportions, many of that car's legendary design cues, and having just as much road presence. However, it's actually just a McLaren 750S with a fancy body kit. This extreme 750S is the work of American firm S Klub LA.
If You Have A Taste For The Odd, This Plymouth Prowler Might Be Perfect For You
It's a fine example of a model that didn't deserve all the hate it got. Plymouth built some memorable cars before it was killed off in 2001, and the strange-looking Prowler was one of the last. Launched in 1997, then axed in 2002 after morphing into a Chrysler, the Prowler was an automotive oddity that didn't deserve all the hate it got. A particularly pristine 2000 Prowler has just hit the market and it even comes with a matching trailer.

The World Didn't Need A Carbon Ford F-100, But Now We Have One Original
This carbon-fiber bumpside Ford stole the show at SEMA with its high-tech materials and modern muscle. Most of the custom truck builds we've seen at SEMA this year tend to sacrifice practicality for flashiness, and that's especially true for Toyota's Snowhunter lineup of tracked concepts. A wild bumpside Ford F-100 built by Trick Rides, though, is a little different.

Chevy Dealer Wants To Sell A Corvette ZR1X With A $400,000 Markup Original
It's hard to describe a car like the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X as a bargain. After all, this mid-engined, V8-powered monster starts at $212,195, putting it far out of reach for most of us. However, compared to the multi-million-dollar hypercars that the ZR1X's performance is comparable to, it is surprisingly good value. We're not sure the same can be said about this particular ZR1X listed for sale at a Chevy dealership in Arkansas.
