Car: 1996 Grand Am SE sedan, and dad's 2006 S60 2.5T Rep Power: 43 | After a few months and after I've seen a few new Navigators, they don't look as bad as they initially did. I prefer it to the new Tahoes and Yukons actually when it comes to looks.

Car: BMW E46 328Ci Rep Power: 24 | I applaud Lincoln's style direction. It may not be to everyone's tastes, but I like that dashboard. It breaks away from the standard black-plastic-with-a-slab-of-silver-on-the-console-with-chrome-dial-rings you get these days.

With that being said, you're posting Trucks on a forum full of people who wish they could own an Ariel Atom for a daily driver and be more like the Brits. Lastly, the Navigator is just an ugly ass SUV, the Tundra ain't any better. The interior design on the Lincoln is kind of cool, but knowing Ford... The Navigators ass end is hideous and boring (looks like they lifted a minivan), and the front end looks to me like an accountant saw all the milk crates out behind the chow hall and  "throw some chrome paint on it 'em and they'll look great on the front of a Ford Expedition.They are trying to take cues from their past designs (which is fine cause some of them are great) and apply them to the wrong vehicle.

Car: 2004 Honda Civic Coupe 2000 VFR800 Interceptor Rep Power: 121 |   Acres of fake wood? Check! Rounded off square for the dash? Check! Haphazard and lopsided placement of vents? Check! Cut-rate silver accents? Check! SQUARE GAUGES!? Check and double check! We are now going "retro" back to the horrible interior designs of the 70s and 80s. Welcome to 2000/1984 everyone. Just shoot me now.

 Personally I think there is too much square shapes in that cabin. It goes beyond retro it just looks old. In time they will make seats that have no neck support and they will get rid of the seatbelts because that is retro too.  | |
