As for the Cadillac, the MSRP ranges from $72k-$97k, the badge alone and prestige of the Escalade allows it to be considered in any conversation when it comes to Range Rover or Lexus LX (The Escalade is the only tier one product currently made by Cadillac). You could easily see an Escalade in a millionaires garage, but you will not likely see a Navigator. Its all about the prestige at this price point, the Esacalade has it but I'm afraid the Navigator does not.

Not a fan of the interior on this and even though i was never a fan of the previous pre facelift Navigator i think it looks better now after the refresh.

I just speced out an Expidition EL King Ranch for $65,000 on Ford's website. Now that is the Ford I'd like to own, its a handsome design vs the ugly Navigator.
The Navigator has ALWAYS been a way to pay too much for an ugly version of the Expedition. Ford has never really given it the real premium treatment to truly compete with the Escalade, Range Rooney, Benz, etc.

And yes, I remember it well.

Each to his or her own, I guess, but retro 60s styling today has become rather widespread, simply because a lot of people like it. We see it in the Mustang, Challenger, Charger, Camaro, Navigator, Mini, VW Beetle, Fiat 500, and others.
