We sat in both the expy and nav at the car show. Nav was the short model. Expy was an XLT. There is no way you can tell me that it had comparable cargo space to my Burb. The back of my Burb is cavernous compared to the expy.
Had the kids jump into the 3rd row in both Fords and they said its about the same amount of room from the Fords compared to the Suburban. I haven't been in a tahoe/yukon/esky 3rd row so I don't know if there is a big difference between them and the Burb/XL/ESV. I know the wheel base is shorter but I thought the length had to do with the cargo area. I may be wrong. I usually toss my father in the 3rd row when we make a trip and he says he has plenty of room. Granted he isn't 6ft 4 but he isn't a 13 yo girl either.
IMO - the Nav looks much better than the Expy. Expy is just a disaster of horizontal lines. The interior of the new Navigator is much more comfortable than any of the GM SUVs I have been in, including my sister's platinum Esky. The leather is much more plush. But the Denali and Esky still seemed more refined.
No car is without its problems. We've owned a lot of different brands and we keep coming back to GM. Even my wife is much higher on the Buicks than even BMWs or Mercedes. Our 2002 Maxima was a nightmare i never wish to relive. 1992 Chevy 2500 p/u had issues out the gate. 2000 Dodge ram...all stupid shit went wrong with it...nothing major...just a new nuisance every 9-12 months. Now I am an admitted GM fan boy because of my love and affinity with the F bodies but my wife has ZERO brand loyalty and looks for value and features. She keeps going back to GM so they must be doing something right.
