2006 and 2007 Lincoln Navigator - Review and Navigator PicturesLincoln, part of the Ford Motor family, has long been known for its moderately upscale vehicles. The Lincoln Continental was a classic from the 70's and 80's, and the Lincoln Town Cars came to dominate the New York City private driver vehicles throughout the 90's and into the 21st century - you can't walk down a street in midtown Manhattan without seeing 10 black Lincoln Town Cars lined up along the avenues. But the first real luxury SUV from Lincoln was the Navigator, a big hulking machine based on the engine and chassis of the Ford Expedition, itself big brother to the Ford Explorer. First produced in 1998, the Navigator added noise insulation and other finishing details on top of the Expedition, resulting in a luxury SUV with a quiet ride, solid off-road 4X4 performance when needed, and luxurious interior accoutrements.

The steering wheel is also trimmed in walnut and leather. A voice activated navigation system, with DVD and GPS mapping, is also an option as part of the high-end stereo packages.
