The all-new 2018 Lincoln Navigator has been revealed at the 2017 New york Auto Show, looking very similar to the gullwinged Navigator Concept displayed at last year’s NY show. Of course, the gullwing doors didn’t make it to production, but expectedly, it is a rebodied version of the all-new Ford Expedition that debuted a few months ago.
When you’re shopping for luxury sedans, Lincoln isn’t exactly the first name on your list. It probably isn’t even the tenth car on your list, and you probably only remembered the brand when you went to the showroom looking at the three other luxury brands that the UAE dealer forces the Lincoln to share showroom space with. Truth be told, they do have some competitive products, such as the Lincoln MKZ that one of our writers owns. And their new Continental flagship sedan sets the bar higher still for American luxury, as you’ll see in this first real review of the car on UAE roads.
The Lincoln Continental is back as a 2017 model, and it’s now on sale in the GCC, taking its place as the Ford-owned brand’s flagship model.
Here’s a list of all the recalls for the month of September, some in the United States and some globally.
Ford’s luxury marque, Lincoln, had a surprise debut at the 2016 New York Auto Show. The Lincoln Navigator Concept is the best look yet at the future flagship of the brand that is currently undergoing a re-do. However, the concept is fitted with two huge gull-wing doors on its either side, with cascading steps to enter the cabin.
Lincoln is not a brand that registers in anyone’s minds when shopping for a luxury car. Generally regarded as just better-trimmed versions of Fords, a proper effort has been made on the newer models to actually differentiate them from their Ford platform-mates. Take this 2016 Lincoln MKX for instance. It’s pretty darn good.
Lincoln has officially revealed their new flagship, the 2017 Continental at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. It is set to go on sale in the United States and China first after the summer.
The Lincoln Continental concept, first shown at the 2015 New York Auto Show earlier this year and praise by the media for its attractive design as well as derided by Bentley for looking like their own Continental Flying Spur, has been given the green light to become the flagship of the Lincoln sedan line, replacing the awkwardly-proportioned MKS.
Car production is an honest process, the Americans would tell you. It’s a simple process, the Japanese will say, and the Germans would go on about how intricate and detailed the process is. But when it comes to after-market assurance, there’s just one word dictating their manufacturing flaws; swift recalls. Recalling faulty vehicles is not unfamiliar in today’s automotive scene. As a matter of fact, millions of vehicles have been recalled in the past and you could see it as a sign that cars are getting safer and manufacturers getting serious about their products.
Pictures of the 2016 Lincoln MKX has leaked early on the internet ahead of its launch at the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
