Navigator: Bling In Demand

I'll readily admit that I don't like the over-the-top Navigator myself. But I'm not the target consumer. Guys who put "24s" on their Escalade or half-inch-thick tires on their H2 are the target, and for them the Navigator's big blingin' grille is in!

I like new Navigator. Front end reminds me so much of 1st generation Navigator.

So Ford got this one right, more or less. This is one trend that needs to die. Bling = ostentation/expression of money minus good taste. (like .50cent's chromed Gallardo)

Yeah but if we removed every bad automotive trend out there then Minivans, GM-source Hummers, and the entire Eastern European automotive industry would be gone.

The SUV craze is a far dumber trend than that of the minivan.

agreed... SUV's are needed for work and offroad trips.
anything outside of that is pretty dumb

mini vans are needed for family functions.

That front end is the ugliest imo
