Despite calls to multiple dealers and Lincoln concierge, I've been unable to confirm if the Aviator GT will be eligible for the IRS tax rebate. The car is not yet listed on Federal Tax Credits for Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Cars but if it were, I believe it would be worth at least $6,295 in federal tax credit since its a better PHEV spec than the Range Rover Sport.
The absence of any info on Lincoln's web site or knowledge of the concierge staff or dealer network is puzzling. The tax credit would makes the bottom line spend on a GT model a lot more attractive (and almost a no-brainer).
I was finally able to drive a GT Black Label at a local dealer this morning. I did not detect the hard switch between electric and gas engine that a lot of reviewers mentioned. FWIW, I used cargurus to find which dealers had the GT and called around until I found one that wasn't pre-sold. It's a better tool than the Lincoln web site.
