Lincoln's flagship sedan looks elegant and classy in a bold design for the body which focuses on a double-wing grille that's a contemporary homage to the classic 1941 Lincoln Continental. For 2013 issues the grille tips rearward in a sleeker pose as the prow adds horizontal louvers in a new fascia to underscore the grille with piercing optics of projector-type HID (high-intensity discharge) headlamps wrapping around front corners.

Our wagon -- the 2012 Navigator L, Lincoln's long-stretched and luxuriously outfitted full-size SUV -- executes each bend in the curvy mountain road with a pavement-hugging poise rarely found on such a jumbo-size hulk of a wagon, much less one whose roots trace directly to a humongous pickup truck. To our surprise it feels almost sporty, so agile the posture and smooth the ride quality, yet the Navigator L has a wheelbase nearly 12 feet long and a high-rise body structure which smothers some 18 feet of pavement and its vast passenger compartment provides three tiers of seats for as many as eight riders.

The first pickup for Lincoln -- riding on the full-size chassis of Ford's best-selling F-150 truck -- shows a profile that's similar to F-150 but Lincoln design cues apply, such as the waterfall grille up front, a band of shiny chrome ringing the vehicle and four thick-spoke wheels plated in chrome.

A sensuous, curvy front end makes the Navigator fit in with the rest of Lincoln's high-class lineup. Power deployable running boards are a flashy option, as they disappear under the body after the doors are closed for a clean, uncluttered look. This is the best interior you can get from the factory in a full-size SUV. The quality of materials and construction is outstanding, especially compared with the lackluster plastics in its Cadillac and Infiniti rivals. Read More »
