Whadda yall think bout' the new Navi??? I think its very dissapointing because I love the Navi far more than the Escalade. I'm an interior person and Escalade interior doesn't come close to the Navi. Same is said for the new escaldes and Navi thats coming out. But whats up with the same looking body shell of the Navi??? The Escalade is redesigned while Lincoln looks like they're trying to save money by only doing minor body and trim changes. How can u compete!!! The Escalade has 430HP and the Navi will have 300HP or something like that. The interior of the 07' Navi is a little different but very similar. I actually like the interior of my 04' equally or more so I think I will wait til' they give it a totally new look. Till then I wanna upgrade to the 05' trim/cladding, bumper,grill so My Navi could aleast be up to date til' that new body style comes out. I was upset when they made the changes to the 05' and I bought my 04' several months prior. ANYONE KNOW OF ANYONE THAT HAS 05-06 BODY CLADDING FOFR SALE. MAYBE FROM A SALVAGED VEHICLE???
 
As far as the exterior is concerned... the '05 & '06 models have a new front bumper. I'm pretty sure that's not it, but that's the only thing that sticks out in my mind.

Well, the 05'+ does not have that dark grey design along the bottom of the cladding (lower doors). Instead, it is completly smooth and monotone. Along with the new design front bumper and all around monotone color, it looks more like a Luxury SUV according to an article I read. It does look less aggressive and more classy than the 03'-04. I like the look and was kinda upset cause I have the 04' model. The changes are not drastic but noticable.
 
It should only be a couple more years before Lincoln and Ford catch up. The Hurricane engine is coming back, and it will be a 6.2L V-8 expected to be 400 plus HP.

Here's a small article on it, albeit it doesn't say much.

All the cladding on the 05s and 06s are smooth bottoms. Mine is an 03 and I have a edge or lip on the bottom of my lowers. I like the 05 better IMO.
