These days with torquey turbocharged engines and rampant underrating, advertised peak horsepower is fairly meaningless.
The X5 does 0-60 in 5s. That's pretty fast for an SUV. I'll bet you dollars to donuts the Lincoln can't do it any faster and will likely be a couple tenths slower.

Yes I did mean the Aviator. I really don't want to do a American vehicle. Frankly think Detroit makes junk. Of course the X5 is not German made either. Agreed does not have the badge cachet- but of course that's why BMW is making a mint on their SUV's. And can make features that should be standard options. True on the acceleration, would have to add the Aviator is a little larger/roomier/heavier than the X5 however.
