Spotted something strange in Delhi - Team-BHP

DCEite · 11th July 2005, 18:31

Hi guys..

On my way back home from a friend's place, a strange looking car came about near the Moolchand Hospital Flyover (my Delhi friends would be knowing about it)..

Let me describe it:

It was BIG and i mean.. B-I-G !.. almost a Limo... i dont know what to call it but looked like a mix n match of a big SUV and a BIG sedan.. it was the Biggest car i have ever seen in my life..and the W-I-D-E-S-T of them all.. it was maroon in colour.. as i was a fair bit distance away from it i could only read "LINCOLN" or was it LINCON (?!).. i am not sure...

pardon my ignorance, but i did even know a car called Lincon existed.. if anyone having more info on this monster car (together with some pics).. i will appreciate...

Till then.. let me dream about that big car i saw today....

I think you must've seen the Lincoln Navigator:

if you saw "LINCOLN" and you say it was a massive SUV then it has to be the Navigator ..

DCEite · 11th July 2005, 20:24

damn right...!!... yes it was the Navigator...

dont know.. but does it qualify as a "super car" or a "rare car".. (atleast in Delhi..)??

turbo_lover · 11th July 2005, 20:53

lets call it a Rare Exotic ?

dragger · 11th July 2005, 21:04

hey there are quite a few lincoln navigator's here in bombay..one of the builders in walkeshwar also owns it..cant take his name...but yes as far as i know he's running on dxb registration plates and most of his car's are..which include the high end bmw's and the beetle..and there's a long list of merc's etc etc....hehe..so well keep it revvin...cheers...!!

a navigator is one hell of a car....very common in the movies today....better than the SUV's available here...very very comfortable and the power....it is awesome

which is bigger the navigator or the aviator??

turbo_lover · 14th July 2005, 13:07

Infiniti QX 45 is bigger than the Navigator and the escalade (in the luxury SUV segment )...

VIPER_SRT · 22nd July 2005, 04:04

Navogator is the biggest of Lincoln SUV's. You cant beat the luxury in Navi. Aviator was launched as a Mid-size SUV to compete with Lexus RX-300. BMW joined them with X3

VIPER_SRT · 22nd July 2005, 04:09

Infiniti QX-45 is one hell of a SUV. I drove it for 6 months. It got sport tuned exaust and you should hear that roaring sound. looks like a beast on the road.

On the other hand its not a big SUV. It was designed to be driven like a sports car. The standard wheels are 19" (Mag/Alloy). Also when you turn on the ignition the whole console (Speedometer/Tachometer/steering) zooms out according to your memory settings. Its like a seperate unit which gets adjusted according to the memory settings for particular driver. One the key is out of ignition the console goes back to the original position. I love that part.

Navigator/Ford Expedition/Suburban are bigger than FX-45.

I think the new one is a QX-56 right ???
The 45 is not there on the site anymore ... Looks like its been discontinued ...

turbo_lover · 22nd July 2005, 15:00

i have seen a huge huge SUV by Acura is it the Q56 then ? i though it was Q45..
there was another SUV by Acura the QX4 ,my uncle owned it ..was beautiful ..
