Umm, is there something I'm missing here...how did you decide to choose beween these 2 vehicles?

In any event, the Navi is a pig on gas and the new ones are overpriced and really just a slightly jazzed up Expediton. If you like SUV's and don't care about the gas prices or the cost of the vehicle, get a Yukon Denali instead or even that QX56 Infinti is an absolutely sik truck both for around the same money!!!

The new Navigators have been plaqued with quality issues and are just not a great truck. The Caddy Escalade is by far a better truck, albiet played-the-fuk-out now!

As for the SVT....umm I dunno..I'm sure you could find a nice used one with low km that hasnt had the cock beat off it...somewhere!

All the above trucks have worst gas mileage then the Navigator. Look at the Aviator, its smaller still has the luxary but better gas mileage. If you cant afford the gas SVT is the way to go ..........

Either way is a good choice!! If you want speed and agility look at the foci. You want big pimpin hit up the Navi.

Thats exacally the same dilemma i have had for the last 5 months(minus the navigator part), should i ditch the sedan and go for the SVT? I've thought long and hard, and the second i saw that the gas went over a dollar a litre i said screw that, ill keep my SPI. And that was pretty much the end of that, i have no need for a SVT, and the day i hit 25, when my insurance comes down im buying a faster car.

Mazda 3, 6 or wait till they make the mazdaspeed verisons or if you really are up to it Mazda RX8

I traded my sedan for a SVT. I love it but, nothing beats a mazda in its class.

I'd say SVT, but lincolns are ubber nice..........


My thoughts on this is, Do you really need an SUV ? do you use the rear doors a lot or not, plan on using it off roading?, or do you like performance? plan on doing Moddings ? etc....
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
