Pretty much every car, automatic and manual have Tach's....

The guages look like they're from a kitchen range and the wood is similar to the kind of wood you would see on a rolling pin or cutting board. Since we all know a women should be spending most of their time in the kitchen, these easily identifiable attributes should make it easier for a women to drive while talking on the cell phone.

Well they did bring back the grill, unfortunately they stuck it on the front of what used to be a decent looking truck.

Or were you being sarcastic? I cannot tell.

the base models usually do not have a tachometer.

So what? ATOT isn't exactly the targetted audience of Lincoln.

It's the damn UAW's fault!

If you look at the link for the short wheelbase version from your link it looks a tad bit better. At least the piece of chrome/bug deflector looking thing is gone Link.

The only thing I like better about the '07 is the tail lights. For some reason I've always hated the Navigator tail lights.

Not really. An auto doesn't need a tach. It's a huge waste of space.

instrument panel pic: ok; I might even say "nice creativity"

exterior pic: :VOMIT;

Lincoln seems to have gotten off on a huge tallight tangent.

Take regular sized taillights, quadruple the size and stick them on every model we sell.

The ones on the Zephyr are even worse than the Navigator ones.

 

[Rogodin2]

And Navigators used to look decent.

Sure they do. Because you may not take advantage of having a tach in an automatic does not make it a "huge wase of space."

looks like an old stove or something.

me and my friends saw that at the auto show and we all just busted out laughing the lincoln ppl had to ask us to leave!!

that is just FUGLY!!!! How can anyone with eyes agree to make that crap??

 

[sandorski]

Lincoln designer: "Hey! I got it! Let's go out with a BANG!!"

 

[biggestmuff]

looks like a typical Ford dashboard; plain, simple and souless.

 

[MazerRackham]

The people buying those have no idea what style is about.... they just want HUGE wheel wells to stick goddamn 33" rims up in them. The big chrome grill is also a neccessity.

 

[archcommus]

Eh it looks alright.

But I thought these new models, just as "MKZ", were pronounced "Mark Z", however in the new commecials they actually say "M-K-Z". So much for Motor Trend and every other source I read.
