sounds like what’s in fig-6  

I have given the Navigator a hard time recently because I want it to be better and really be the flagship of not just Lincoln but for Ford as well I want it to push the envelope more which I know they can.  With that being said the Navigator has had a far better 2nd row than the Escalade for a while now and has offered heated/cooled seats in the 2nd row since at least 2022 on the 4th gen refresh.  Escalade didn't get that till 2025.

Take off the emblem and you'd think it was a chevy

The car looks better in videos.  Thats what my wife said anyway.

This design suffers from the same issues as the X7 - European automotive design just doesn't translate well to large SUVs. 

It looks so much cheaper than most Mercedes products. 

Down to $3.89 87 E10 from 3.99 here where the St Croix meets the Mississippi. 91E0 and Diesel are both $4.99-5.19

Hau Thai Tang was the head of the 2005 Mustang development, one of the best looking 'Stangs IMO. In March 2022, he was promoted to Ford's Chief Industrial Platforms Officer when the business model was divided into Ford Blue, Model E, and Pro. In October he suddenly was volountold to retire after 34 years at Ford. He is now at Borg Warner. There was some other musical chairs going on at the time, but his departure was the most glaring to me. From what I've read about ThaiTang, I hoped he would get the Big Chair one day; an engineer in charge of Ford, imagine that...

I kept it for awhile... but they eventually caught up with me.  I was literally 3 months short of the required 10 years to keeping it, but frankly I was done.  Thankfully, my brother in law is now an employee... should I ever desire to buy another new vehicle.

What only a tiny group of people know, when the 2005 Mustang was being developed, there was a proposal for a 4dr version that got killed by Nancy Gioa.  Her explanation, there is zero chance of a 4dr performance car ever succeeding.  Hello, anybody familiar with Dodge Charger?  Nancy was the same person that killed the independent rear suspension in the Mustang.  Man there were some internal battles over that flawed decision, it actually got the chief engineer removed from his position, that's how serious it got.   Don't get me started on Farley.  He's a flaming effin idiot.  The decision to end sedans was partially flawed on bad math, and partially flawed on Ford wanting to only innovate vs renovate.  Honda and Toyota successfully renovate.  I have no idea why Ford keeps him around.  He screwed up Europe and was put in charge of the entire company?  I heard a 3rd hand story of an exec challenged Farley in a meeting, and was retired the next day.  I trust my source, but have no further confirmation.
