Just been reading the various reviews on the 2018 Lincoln Navigator.

Ford pulled out all the stops and has blown the competition including
the* Cadillac Escalade and Infiniti QX80* away with this one.

3.5L twin turbo, 450hp, over 500 lb ft of torque, 10 speed
transmission,
6 adaptive performance settings, premier seating for all and an
interior fit and finish that is superior to any of it's competition.

Quite a price tag though.* Starts at $76K.* $96K typical.

Mrs.E. loves Navigators.* She has had three of them in the past.
Gotta keep her away from this one.





Heheh...what does that barge weigh, three tons?, and with a 3.5 liter
engine, the same size as in my little truck and a Toyota with V6? With
twin turbos? Not an engine that is going to last long, pushing an
aircraft carrier.


Why would someone who can't afford one be concerned about the
* weight and engine longevity.

Why would I want a whale of a car?



I don't.* Mrs.E. is the one who likes them.



Even with the visual aids, it must be a bitch to park that aircraft
carrier. I watched a video review of it, though...has a really nice
interior. It would be a nice car for a long trip on the Interstate...but
I really despise those sorts of long drives. Hell, five to five and a
half hours to New Haven or nine and a half hours to Hilton Head is the
limit of my tolerance for that sort of driving.

You should be able to make New Haven in 3 or 4 days with that
imaginary twin diesel yacht of yours. There's nothing quite like that
entrance into New York harbor as you go north on the Jersey coast.
