Now something along these lines I could definitely get on board with! Kind of like how with the old Excursions they looked like part of the Super Duty family.

I like it, so does wife will trade in her 13 Denali XL for one.

As far as Navigator my local Ford dealer where I bought my F150 says they are not making Navigator any more after this year.

New look finally but it looks like a Ford Flex or a minivan. So, is this a lowered truck base/full size SUV? To me, a Yukon Denali is much better looking SUV overall.

I think it looks good. A little restrained. IMO the current Expedition is absolutely dated and has always been a bit of an ungainly looking turd to me. Glad to see this!

That is a good thing. Brand identity.

Disappointing for various reasons - that roto gearshift **** is another disappointment.
I think guys might like the truck like look, but since 43% of all Expedition buyers are women and women influence 80% of new purchases, For sticking to a softer more luxurious look makes sense. Sales will up up with the redesign. That is Fords ultimate goal, to increase sales. Compare this to the 2012/2013 Escape. Many people cried that the new design wouldn't sell because it was less truck like. They were wrong! They sold in record numbers, and more than 50% to women who appreciate the softer styling.

only feeling stirred is:

- Meh-


Now this:



Tasty.

Bold.

Rugged.

Strong.

And that would probably scare off too many soccer moms....

IMO that rendering of an F-150 turned into an Expedition is absolutely mortifying.. Lol

I like the 18. Way nicer than the last gen.
