I was recently invited to a Lincoln preview event where I had the chance to comb through the all new Lincoln MKX, MKZ and Navigator models. Although my time behind the wheel of each of these vehicles was short, I was able to form some initial impressions on Lincoln’s new line up for 2007. More…

It’s a car; it’s a truck…….. it’s a Honda? It is the much debated Honda Ridgeline! You can call it a truck or a car or an SUV with a box, or a caruck or whatever you want; I’ll refer to it as the Ridgeline from here on in. The Ridgeline is a full sized cab (5 seater) vehicle with a short box similar to the Ford Sport Trac. It is built on the Pilot / MDX chassis and is configured with a fully independent rear end; as a result it rides more like a car than a truck.

I picked up a Subaru Outback 2.5 Limited today and will be doing an extended 7 day blog of impressions, I welcome any feedback you may have on this format.
First impressions are always key, I wasn’t particularly pleased with the Willow Green colour but once I opened the door to the beautiful Taupe leather interior with black / taupe dash and silver accents I warmed up quickly to the vehicle.
