DEARBORN, Mich. — Lincoln takes the wraps off its redesigned Lincoln Navigator SUV at the Chicago auto show on Wednesday, showing off a new look and a "Navigator L" model that is 14.7 inches longer than the regular version and gives buyers an additional 25 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the third-row seat.

The '07 Lincoln has a more in-your-face chrome grille, a "powerdome" hood, optional 20-inch chrome wheels, new wing-shaped taillamps, and new body-side trim integrated into the lower cladding. In the cabin, Lincoln says second-row seats now feature a one-hand fold-and-tumble operation for access to the third row.

Major chassis enhancements include larger brakes, a stiffer frame, and an all-new independent rear suspension. The powertrain, a 5.4-liter V8 mated to a standard six-speed automatic transmission that generates 300 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque, is carried over from the previous model.

What this means to you: If you're after a big ride and more bling, you're going to get it with the redesigned Lincoln Navigator.

what in the world happened to the grille??!?!?!?!?!?!
it's totally out of whack with the rest of the front end.

The Navigator used to be such a refined looking SUV too....

The interior doesn't look to be as sophisticated as Escalade, though it does seem to have more wood and has a console shifter.

Oh my. Words just can't describe how ugly that is... That's got to be one of the ugliest front ends in history.

[nphillips]

I would say it's butt ugly, but that would be a compliment.

[giagastormer]

Now that, is hilarious.

Lincoln’s new Remington style grill is just awful.

[nsap]

Ford, you idiots! They screwed up a beautiful vehicle. On top of that awful front end, with only 300 HP...the Escalade walks all over this thing. Even the interior is nothing great. What a shame.

[69Firebird400]

That is heinous. The Escalade looks better than this thing from every possible angle. I hate eggcrate grilles...so boring. The cowl on the dash looks like it's too high. The large metal plates on the doors look like something a ricer puts on his Civic, and the taillights look like they would bolt right onto an MKX.

I find it interesting that the only Lincolns and Cadillacs that still retained their "regular" names are the Navigator and Escalade, even with model changes for 2007.

I wonder when Lincoln will get its act together; a return to greatness is long overdue. This Lincoln suggests the return is going to have to wait a little more.

[silverado_13]

I don't understand. I think it looks really good. I love the new grills Lincoln is going with. The lights are awesome too. Don't get me wrong, I like the Lade better, and with 100 more hp it will own this, but I still think it looks good.

I try not to be overly critical when first looking at new vehicles..often times they grow on me, but this is just terrible. Not only do I not like it...I have a hard time picturing a demographic group that would like it.

Words cannot describe what I think of the front end. The interior I do not like also. I was never a fan of Ford's steering wheels, with their bulky squareness, but the square guages and square/rectangular center stack remind me of almost every GM car in the late 1970's and early 80's my parents had.

[99Hugger]

What the hell is that thing.I think Spok lost his spaceship

[chadbarb99]

That's by far the most hidious looking thing I've ever seen, I don't think the Escalade will have any problems out-selling this fugly thing. So once again in the Ford vs GM wars, GM is winning big time

[mkwelbornjr]

That pic has got to be a joke. That is horrible. I would rather have an Aztek based on styling alone.

[rmodys]

I really like the interior on this, especially the gauges. The exterior is hideous though. Especially that hood, it sticks out way too much. The Escalade is a thousand times better looking than this thing. I like the headlights though. Why only 300hp?
