      ***** The Chevrolet Tahoe cannot compete with the Lincoln Navigator. From the faux wood and leather to the under-powered engine the Tahoe offer when compared to the new engine the Lincoln Navigator has. Point. Blank. The GMC Yukon Denali is more competitive to the Navigator than a Chevrolet Tahoe.

    I'm a Ford fan and I've got to admit Lincoln has to do more to make the Navigator look like it's own premium vehicle instead of a fancy expedition. Remember it was the Lincoln Navigator that broke the ice in the full size luxury SUV market. It's time Ford Motor Company restores the glory and prestige of the beautiful American Lincoln Navigator. -TX

      Agreed! Sadly, FoMoCo let the Navigator (the one that started it all) die. They let all of Lincoln die and are just now trying to resurrect it. GM did a wonderful job of restoring Cadillac to glory. To your point, the current three row lux SUV craze in the US started with the Navi. (RR, LC, G-wagen were more niche)

    This comments about "if you want a true SUV, go buy a Q7, or a Touareg, or a Cayenne, or a Range Rover" are so pointless, so many people don't buy these things for their off road capabilities, since 90% of them never go off road, or to tow 9000lbs and seat 8 adults, I always see just one person in a 9 passenger SUV. They buy it because of the looks, the feeling, they wanna look cool, kinda like "gangsta", the european SUV may be so much modern, but they don't have the kind of prescence the Caddy and the Lincoln have.

    • @jameswilliams-fn9qk
      @jameswilliams-fn9qk 8 років тому

      I agree. People buy these because they want or need the extra space. RR, Audi, and Mercedes don't really compete with these vehicles. They compete more with domestic crossover size wise. People buy these instead of a full size truck because they want the extra passenger and cargo space instead of a bed. GM may be newer design but way too many quality problems and at 90k one of biggest ripoffs out there. GM just cashing in on the suckers that don't know all the problems it has yet. I'll bet most salade buyers don't even bother to test drive them or compare with other brands. Lincoln has value and luxury where it matters most (better comfort, ride, utility, etc.)

      EscapeforMankind You're right, it's too expensive. But so is the Navigator! If I needed something like this, I'd buy a $45k Honda Odyssey and call it a day. If I needed to tow or AWD, I could STILL afford a base Grand Cherokee on top of the Odyssey. That argument makes buying a Navigator or Escalade seem pointless.

      unless you need a third row in which you can fit full size adults/teens for some period of time with at least some measure of comfort. In such cases you either need a massive MPV e.g. Merc R class lwb or a massive 4x4 e.g. Merc GL, Escalade,...

    @BestPlasticSurgeons 7 років тому +1

    Comfort is important and while you mentioned the Navigator is more comfortable on the inside you did not give that statement adequate weight. If you spend a few hours in either SUV in the driver's seat, 2nd row or third row you will realize how claustrophobic the massive Caddy is and how roomy and airy the Lincoln feels by comparison. The Lincoln is much more "Range Rover like" and that is something worth giving up some tech gadgets and sex appeal for. Can't wait for the 2018 Navigator to come out. I hope they maintain the larger windows and the roomy cabin. Both vehicles need panoramic glass moon roofs and the caddy needs to redesign the c-pillar which obstructs the 3rd row passenger window and can make anyone prone to car sickness. While the Escalade is much more attractive, the Navigator is the one I rather be inside every day and twice on Tuesdays! Good review overall. Thank you.

  • @ncholewa11
    @ncholewa11 9 років тому +3

    The Lincoln has always been a better riding luxury SUV. I admit, they lost touch from a pack they led for years. By 2011 they began falling back. Now with the 2015 I believe they are right back to the front. Back when my family had a 2004 Navigator it was far nicer than my aunts 2004 Escalade. The full air ride was awesome, the fit and finish was far better, and the 3rd row seat is the best out there. The Escalade rear seat to this day is "knees in your chest, cramping, torture". The Lincoln has had a dropped 3rd row floor since I can remember. I just drove in a 2015 as a rental, the 45 minute drive in the third row was miserable. Do I think the Escalade is nice looking, YES, would I ever own one...absolutely not. The biggest reasons, cheesy interior dash parts, awful third row and so so ride quality. I can't wait for the 2015 Navigator to hit a lot near me. Hoping my mom will trade in our 2014 Explorer Sport for it! We miss our Navigators!

      Floor shifts are overrated and are best for sports cars and compacts, BMW, RR, MB have even went to column shifters (albeit Electronic complicated for no reason, fancy shifters) but they maximised the space between the two front seats. I actually like the old reliable truck style shifter since it is indeed a legit truck and not ashamed of its roots.

    Wait wait wait... before i even finish watching this, let's make one thing clear: The Escalade wasn't "always" the top lux SUV in the segment. In fact, the Navi held that title for a good couple of years before rap music made the ridiculous Escalade the pop-culture phoneme that it is. In other words, rap music popularized the Cadi = suburban posers and housewives wanted in on the "cool" factor = then they were everywhere. Meanwhile, the Navi faded into the Escalade's shadow, never to receive the same rap hype. It didn't help that Ford refused to make the Navi competitive all the while GM threw on more plastic chrome and powerful engines at the Escalade, further progressing its "bling" and must-have factor. However, for my money, i wouldn't have either of these. Any sane person in their right mind would get a Range Rover ;p

      I would rather have one of those larger domestic vehicles rather than a Land Rover Range Rover which would be very expensive to upkeep after its warranty is up over the few years and the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator are the two domestic vehicles with fewer problems and feasibly cheaper to fix than that foreign unreliable Range Rover.
      By far, the Range Rover is more capable of doing various maneuvers than the Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator; and for one, the Range Rover can easily master most difficult terrains and has the ability to guide its user to the freeway again, if the user has gotten lost through various terrains.
      The Lincoln Navigator is more practical to upper-middle-class minorities, who are soccer moms or grocery haulers with a more subtle look rather than big Cadillac brush chrome and glitzy appearance to the general public. And as for the Cadillac Escalade being the-go-to-vehicle in rap and hip-hop culture, the Navigator rose to fame with its niche to rap stars and celebrities as well. Somehow the big Lincoln has lost it touch with celebrities, unlike the Cadillac Escalade; but somehow I feel Lincoln all-new Navigator will steal customers and potential buyers from Cadillac in 2016 when it will be introduce to the luxury market.

      The V8 is more reliable and durable. This is why American manufacturers have hung onto them for so long now. It's ironic because it was Ford with their modular V8s that not only hung onto them but wouldn't put a lot of hp and high revs into them for that very same reason. Now they've jumped off the deep end not only putting V6s in all their trucks, but twin turbo and direct injection at that. They've had issues with all of this.

      I'm a police officer with an agency that has different vehicles in its fleet and my Explorer with EB gulps down more fuel than our Tahoes, Chargers (w/Hemis) and Crown Vics and the non-Ecoboost is even worse. I love the space and comfort of the new Ford Utility but I fill up double the amount of times I did with my old Charger. The V8s are more efficient than what most people believe. I'd take a V8 any day if I'm paying the bill plus it's easy to work on and keep for the long haul.

    it is important to note however you can spec lincoln drive control and better interior on the navigator, as part of 'Equipment group- reserve.' I would really wonder then which would be better in such a case . In fact I believe a full spec Navi in L form is 10k cheaper then your tested non EXL Cadillac Escalade. Considering the level of luxury present and size difference, I doubt any equipment factors would make the short Cadillac worth the extra dough.

    I actually like the Navigator better. The new Cadillac looks ugly. Especially those tall vertical tail lights. Rather have the Navigator plus that low end torque is what I would prefer. The Lincoln also has better interior room. Don't like that Cadillac still has that old ass gear shift on the steering wheel while everyone else has moved to console shifters. Plus I'm not paying $90K for a damn Cadillac truck when u can get the Navigator or even the very similar badge engineered Yukon Denali for at least $10K cheaper.

    • @RBZ06LT6
      @RBZ06LT6 9 років тому +1

      Please explain to me why this type of shifter is"old" the piston engine type is old as well and still there.
      This "steering shifter" does the same thing as the console shifters do.
      Its a taste thing thats it man.GM is not gonna change it and its good this way cause it proves that customers like it.

    The Escalade will always be on top because it's an Escalade. Who doesn't love the name "Escalade" it just *sounds* luxurious. Everyone knows what the Escalade is, they know it's "important." If someone asks you what kind of vehicle you have if you say "Cadillac Escalade" I'm sure you'd get a much more "Oh wow" reaction vs saying you own a "Navigator."

That said, the escalade is an awesome SUV, it just doesn't appeal to me like the navigator does.
