All Of The Dumb Facts We Learned About Lincoln's New Navigator
All Of The Dumb Facts We Learned About Lincoln's New Navigator-March 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:16

The press days at this year’s are over, and overall it was a mediocre show. Pretty much the only thing anybody is still talking about is whether they love or hate the new Mazda Miata RF and how ridiculous the the pterodactyl doors on Lincoln’s 2018 Navigator concept were. Here’s some quick dumb facts about the latter.

Pterodactyl doors? I mean (ginormous) gull-wing doors. I called them pterodactyl doors in our initial take on Lincoln’s new Navigator concept, and then too. Cool.

Anywho, Jalopnik’s very own father-figure Matt Hardigree took a stroll around the Navigator concept with David R. Woodhouse, the chief designer at Lincoln. Here’s all the pointless stuff we learned about the nautical-inspired luxury SUV concept.

This is one of many of our live video attempts from this year’s show, and in my opinion they’re the best thing we’ve ever done:

The middle initial in David R. Woodhouse stands for Ridiculous doors

Lincoln accurately points out that the purpose of an automobile focuses around arrival and departure

Matt Hardigree gets teakwood from the Navigator’s teakwood trim accents

The navigation system might stop you from purchasing a gun

Lincoln executives dress in “Lincoln plaid” and try to match their show cars. Sad!

You can put your closet full of expensive shit in the trunk space despite the security risk of having a huge rear-window displaying all of said expensive shit

“Horizontality” is definitely not a thing, but okay

So there you go.

Does Lincoln’s 2018 Navigator concept give you teakwood, even though the closet, the doors, and about 30 percent of everything else on this is never going to make it to production?

Or are you just going to all comment about how much it looks like a Ford/Range Rover/Bentley?

Why Ford, GM, And Ram's Truck Sales Numbers Are All Kinda Bullshit
Why Ford, GM, And Ram's Truck Sales Numbers Are All Kinda Bullshit
Every month we report the on every pickup you can buy in the US, and every month we come up against the same frustration: all three major manufacturers report their sales deceptively. I want that to change, and so should you. Ford, GM, and Ram all make several distinctly different...

Hey, Start/Stop Actually Saves Gas! Just Look At The 2015 Jeep Cherokee
For its second year as the "New Cherokee", the 2015 Jeep Cherokee V6 gets start/stop technology. The EPA's just validated a few scraps of fuel savings over the outgoing model without automatic shutdown– as much as 2 full MPG in city driving. Specifically, the V6 FWD 2015 Cherokee gets 21...

What's Chrysler Going To Do With Their New 'Trackhawk' Name?
What's Chrysler Going To Do With Their New 'Trackhawk' Name?
Chrysler's published a trademark for "Trackhawk" as a vehicle name. The obvious guess would be that's the label the next high-performance Jeep Grand Cherokee will carry, coming in line with their "Trailhawk" off-road badging. Any speculation on specifics of when or what exactly the badge will be on? 's Andrew...
