interior looks dated already


The SUVs are always a year or two behind the F150, so it makes sense the 2015 Navigator's interior resembles the current F150 and not the 2015.

Nope. This is really more of a refresh of the 2007 truck. But it has an Ecoboost...

I don't understand what Ford's end game with Lincoln is...it's been sucking wind for years now and they know it. Yet everytime they have the chance to redesign a model and become a serious contender in the luxury market, they come up with the most uninspired looking vehicles. Ford needs to do whatever GM did with Cadillac and Buick and do that with Lincoln, otherwise Lincoln will fail.

Yep. My dad had a 2001 Lincoln LS. Decent car, somewhat of a different direction for the brand - they killed it 2 years later. These upmarket Fusion's and Taurus' are just pathetic. The thing that drives me crazy about it is that the Ford brand is doing better than ever.

Ecoboost is great but they should have been messing with aluminum bodies on their higher end stuff before they ever brought it to the trucks. So it doesn't make any damn sense to me that this wouldn't be Aluminum now.

Looks like it's trying to take a huge dump.

A pimp mobile is actually what Lincoln needs. They need to do what Chrysler did with the 300. Lincoln needs to bring back the Continental and make it a big pimp mobile.

The rear end lights look like a dodge charger/Durango copy. Other than that I don't hate it.

Looks like a nice vehicle, but it's not my style. The interior looks old.

Lincoln needs to make at least one car that isn't a really fancy Ford. They are competing with Buick and Acura when they should be competing with Lexus and Cadillac. I'm not a fan of the Escalade and the Lexus Land Crusier copy either.

The lightbar has been in Lincoln's designs for quite some time, just as it has also been in Dodge's. It's really not copying.
