I'm into nostalgia - like the Thunderbird and Mustang are - but not where you go back in technology. The throttle on the steering column could be next, be careful! I do miss my Gators. I would love to get another one, but am constrained due to these factors.. But, I'll watch with interest to see how you like yours.... Thanks for sharing.

Now that I've had more of a chance to tinker with the bus, here are a few little (some silly) nice and not so nice things I've noticed: The turn signal "click" sounds "luxurious" -- if that makes any sense. The only trade off is that I can't really hear it even if the radio is on at a modest volume. The rear view camera has a landing strip graphic on it that makes it easy to back the bus up into tight parking spaces. Downside -- the popup screen is a bit small and it's hard to notice objects at night on the thing. The new steering wheel design feels very nice. The controls on the wheel are easy to use. The navigation system is the most intuitive,easy-to-use, most feature packed design I've seen on ANY car (Lexus, BMW, Mercedes). This is a HUGE improvement over my '03 cd based, joy stick clunker. I LOVE how the redesigned power liftgate operates. That thing is so quiet and smooth now that you hardly know it's opening or closing. There are a few things that I miss from my other car that I hope newer Navi's eventually incorporate such as: Rain sensing wipers, auto up/down feature on ALL windows (the bus only has auto on the front ones), front parking sensors (it's hard to measure how much space I have left until I bump something but I'll figure it out with time),smart key system to unlock doors and start the car while the key fob is in my back pocket or briefcase, BLUETOOTH for handsfree cell phone use, and a power fold mirror option that can be set to automatically fold the mirrors when locking the bus (Can they be set to automatic???). Overall my goal with the bus was to have an ultra-quiet, ultra roomy, ultra-smooth ride. This navi is definitely fitting the bill in those areas. As I keep getting to know the bus better I'll let you know what I find....

The 08's are a bit higher but not by much. Lincoln currently has some good incentives on the truck. Check out Lincoln's website and put in your zip for the latest incentive info -- if not search these boards for "carman" and he'll give you the latest specials. Bottom line, I think you can get a VERY good deal on these trucks now -- and the quality is impressive. Go for it, and good luck!!!

Replying to: jeyhoe (Aug 03, 2007 8:50 am) That's because the LX570, like the GMT900s, uses a solid rear axle. Consequently, there is no room for the folding third seat. The upcoming Sequoia will have an independent rear suspension and thus a folding rear seat. It isn't clear yet when the new Sequoia will be released -- calender 2008 or 2009. |

Just bought the 2007 Navigator with Elite Pkg. Very comfortable ride. Quirky questions: 1. Dealer replaced tire pressure sensors. The sensor light was still on after leaving the dealership and he said the vehicle needed 200-300 miles of driving before they would reset. Does that sound right? 2. When I get out of the car, the rear passenger doors remain locked, even after the car is shut off unles i manually go and unlock the doors by pressing the key remote or the unlock switch inside. Child safety locks are NOT on. Adults can't exit the rear seat until I unlock the doors for them. Seems rediculous. Anyone experiencing the same thing? Thanks.

I recently picked up my 08 Navigator L and it is the first one for me. I love this truck, however I have one complaint regarding the headlights. When driving at night and over rough payement/potholes I noticed that the headlights flicker as if either the assembly is loose. Wen driving over bumps in the road the projected headlight beam seems to flicker as if the lights are loose giving off a strobe light effect. Are there any other 07/08 Nav owners out there that noticed this smae problem if so what was done to correct it. This is my only complaint and it is making me nutz. Enough so that I would get rid of the truck. Please write back if you have noticed this problem with your 07/08 Nav.
