I don't like it.

 

Sure is a lot of grill on that one~

 

looks like a redesigned Dakota front end with extra bling bling. There goes another 25K jobs.

 

That has got to be the ugliest thing I have ever seen. And Ford wonders why they have lost market share to the Japanese. I guess its still business as usual in Detroit

 

Looks like a supersized Explorer with a tacky grille.

 

403 HP Caddy, 300 HP Lincoln, hmmmmm???

 

The interior looks really sharp! They shoulda went with that zephyr grill instead, or anything for that matter!

 

I made the statement the other day that a number of managers from the PAG (Prestige Auto Group) have infiltrated Lincoln/Mercury, with the objective of destroying the division, thereby securing Jaguar and Land Rover's future. That's the only possible explanation I can think of for that grill.

Then the Zephyr (how many $000's of millions got spent on that car?) get's axed in '07, and will be replaced by a restyled MK-Z with new AWD and a bigger engine. The engine that should have been in that car in the first place. But it still won't be competitive with the CTS/CTS-V in the pony department.

 

Not sure what to say about the front, I really don't like the chrome on the bumper or the way the chrome goes up on the hood. I do like the interior shot, has a classy feel to it, as I'm sure it should for what you will have to pay for it.

 

The interior is nice.. but that grill is.. interesting to say the least. Maybe we'll see some type of redesign before it hits market if it gets a lot of negative feedback..

 

I would get one of these in black and have the grill painted in the same black. Then it would have a decent look. I have never been a fan of chrome.

 

not to bad without the lower grill.

That does help a lot.

 

A chop saw will help a lot

 

Looks like its smiling. Ford should've done a better job on the Navigator.
