most amount of chrome on the nose of any current production vehicle.

With over a decade on the roads and through several updates, the Lincoln Navigator is still as large and stately as ever. Reviewers sum up the 2010 Lincoln Navigator as a brash and flashy piece of rolling bling. TheCarConnection.com's editors like the 1960s-esque grille work, though others have called it "overkill in chrome."

"Chrome" might not be the right word, however, as Cars.com points out-"it's actually painted plastic" and up close, it doesn't look "substantial." Edmunds doesn't care about the technicalities and says the Navigator has the "most amount of chrome available on the nose of any current production vehicle." Cars.com admits it looks like the real thing from a distance, and MotherProof calls the look of the 2010 Navigator "distinctive, stylish, and decidedly Lincoln," though it'll never be considered "discreet." Cars.com cuts to the chase and labels the Navigator the "Blingmobile."

Styling in the cabin also draws some inspiration from earlier Lincolns, this time with gauges similar to those found in 1970s and 1980s vehicles. Kelley Blue Book says the design has even deeper roots, with a "'50s retro look." Cars.com praises them for being "easy to read and extremely distinctive."

Conclusion

Why should I also consider these? X

The 2010 Lincoln Navigator is a tech-laden large SUV with more aggressive styling than the Lexus or Infiniti offerings.

Mercedes' GL-Class is a tough vehicle to beat, though, if you have the scratch to spend.

The Land Rover Range Rover isn't as large as the Navigator, but it has serious off-road ability and drives better on-road, too.

Cadillac's Escalade is the Navigator's most direct competition, and GM's offering is a bit ahead of the big Lincoln in terms of engine power and interior appointments.

The Navigator still comes out ahead on the whole against the Caddy, however, with better handling, a more functional third-row seat, and lower price.
