Nissan put it in their Armada/Q56, and now it's catching on with others like the Pilot and R -class, but when I too was looking forward to getting a 570, I was appalled to see they had still not incorporated this feature into their "totally new" SUV!! Hanging them up on the sides is ridiculous, but I guess better than dragging it out. It could be a deal breaker with me. BTW, my Escalade is the EXT model (like the Avalanche), so the third seat isn't an issue since there isn't one. I preferred my 03 Navigator by a long shot in many many ways, but not the 07. |

I wish it was a "job"... instead it's a 24/7 "lifestyle"....very good $$ returns, but there's a heck of a lot sweat-n-stress in the process  Still, there's a $25 Timex on my wrist and a $10 Target polo on my back.... expensive cars and trucks though -- those are what get the "kid in the toy store" out of me! BTW, I think I'm holding off a few months to get the '08 navi... dealers are still trying to unload the '07's. If it weren't for that backup camera I'd jump now for an '07.

Replying to: nvbanker (Aug 04, 2007 4:25 pm) BUT..... I'm thinking this truck will be hard to get for the first few months (lots of people with cash to burn wanting to be early adopters) AND the price probably won't budge much off of MSRP for the first half of next year. The Navigator, more-so now perhaps thanks to the new "remington look" (LOL!!!!), has always provided great bang for the buck and invoice deals are not hard to come by. A used or demo LX470 should be a decent deal now, too. Right now, those are the two options I'm closely looking at as my next options for two years 'till the 570 becomes reasonable. |

| Not a bad strategery, there teach. The 3rd seat is still unbeatable in the Navigator, for room and convenience. | |

Are there any 2007+ Navi customers out there that can comment on the driving characteristics of the truck? Press stuff says that it is a very quiet, smooth shifting ride. Any real world confirmations on that? Also, has anyone upgraded from athe 2003-2006 model up to the '07's? If so, do you notice any differences in the ride? I'm probably test driving an '08 this weekend and I wanted to know what to expect.... Thanks!!!

Replying to: akirby (Aug 10, 2007 5:31 am) Yes, new sheetmetal would be good too. The Nav hasn't had a major sheetmetal change since its introduction. Better mileage would also be great. Unfortunately, that is not an advantage of the current engine either. As time marches on, so should the technology. More power or more mpg from the same engine, or the same power from a smaller more fuel efficient engine would be nice. Frankly, I don't understand why most people even need 300 hp, unless they are towing, but that is just the way of the world. Go back 10 years and 200 hp was considered quite adequate. |
