After decades of brightly colored monochromatic interiors, for me the two-toned light and dark interiors is still the most appealing and modern. Anytime I'm in a darkly colored one-color interior I feel like I'm in a much cheaper car. But that's what I define as a luxury interior. As far as I can tell, only Chalet actually offers a two-tone interior on the new Navigator?
I also have to say that interior colors is one of the reasons I buy Lincoln instead of Ford. Ford's color selection, especially among the high-end Sport trims, is extremely limited.
I was disappointed to see the standard Navigator lighter interior isn't two tone....as you said, it looks cheaper to me. Even more reason to go for Chalet.
Yeah, I too have been disappointed by the high end Fords basically having become black only. Though the Platinum versions of Explorer and Fusion have added back a lighter interior, thankfully.
I think the most gorgeous non-black label interior on a Lincoln is the Cappuccino interior on the MKC. It's two toned with beige leather & dark mocha accents. Almost a warmer version of Chalet.
THAT'S the one I like, I have that in my MKX. I believe it's also available on the new Navigator, same colors and wood. I really don't need to look farther than that, to me that's perfect.
I love Lincoln's Vineyard theme in my 2017 MKZ its great, the woods and the color choices look rich. I get so many complements on the interior. Love the Maroons hope they get away from the boring Black and Gray interiors. I hope Lincoln adds this theme to other Models.
Enclosed is a brief article from TM, that doesn't reveal anything new, but headlines with the great title, "Meet Lincoln's New Navigator:The Luxury SUV King is Back!"
Navi should come standard with 22inch wheels because those in the picture look horrible. it seem as though only jaguar gets that that the wheels have to be the correct size in order for a design to truly shine.
Apparently you've not seen a Jag with the base wheels then. They don't look any better. Every vehicle looks best with the larger, more proportionate wheels.
So all new 2018 Navigator's come with standard leather, Revel 14 speaker audio and Lincoln Way app with embedded modem! (Actually looks like all 2018 Lincolns that offered the modem optionally before now gain it as std, which is a wise move)
yes I have seen some of their standard wheels, but for the most part even their standard wheels aren't that small. take the F-Type for instance I think the smallest wheels it comes with are 18inches, and considering how much larger the Navi is, it should come with 20 inch standard BUT since it looking to make a big splash, the might as well make it 22in standard. Make sure the profiles and looks of all their vehicles look appropriate.
Navigator looks okay with the smaller wheels, it's the Continental that looks pretty bad in its base form. It doesn't help that Lincoln's likes to offers really garish gold/beige colors which really don't do the brand any favors on the streets. I know they want customers but they shouldn't be so accommodating to some of those with geriatric tastes. They'll get over it, I promise!

Some of those trims and colors have no doubt been influenced by Chinese exports,
I suspect the base car is OK for fleet buyers but retail buyer would be encouraged
to select and pay for options that move the needle more to their liking....
and judging by dealer stock, I'd be willing to be that the very base model is ignored by most retail buyers,
Reserve and Select make up over 80% of current dealer stock but around two thirds of the cars are less
then $60,000.

The wheel size isnt much the issue as it is design. The turbine fanned look doesnt meah well with the design pf the truck in either 20 or 22in form. Maybe the 17 wheels will fit, they are far superior wheels.
So when the New EcoSport hits North American dealerships in early-2018, it will be the only other Ford product with a floating screen design in North America.
"During the course of this video, Doug DeMuro argues both for as well as against owning such a vehicle, which means it's up to you to decide whether we could live with its shortcomings.
In the end, buying something like the Escalade ESV Platinum comes down to personal preferences. On one hand, it's big, super capacious and comfortable, rides really well and has plenty of on-board tech to keep you busy. Then again, if you're a stickler for detail and a fan of fine craftsmanship, you might want to consider downsizing a bit and looking at a Range Rover or a Mercedes GLS instead."

****, that's the top of the line Escalade? The Black Label Navigator is going to shame that thing! Not outsell it, but those who buy the Navigator are going to be very happy with their choice!
If Lincoln had rolled this new gen out 3 years ago alongside Cadillac’s newest gen, then they would have been spared a lot of criticism. But then again, Aluminum would probably not have been in the cards. Lincoln planned wisely, imho. It is not easy adding all this luxury while taking weight down without lighter material. Eager to see how it does in reviews. Performance should be stellar and NVH should be quite impressive too.
