Visa Denied: The New York Auto Show Stars That Australia Will Miss Out On

Now that the New York Auto Show is in full swing and automakers have pulled the cover of their stand candy it’s time to take a look at the headline acts that won’t be making the trip Down Under.

Despite one of the most diverse automotive landscapes in the world, there’s still some brands that Aussie buyers don’t have access to, and even those that are freely available in Australia are restricted by a lack of right hand drive availability for some models. Then there’s those cars that are simply designed purely for North American sales exclusively.

In no particular order TMR takes a look at the cars of the 2017 New York Auto show that won’t be appearing in a showroom near you.

Lincoln Navigator

Thanks to its popularity as a co-star in rap videos, Hollywood blockbusters, and as a private import the Cadillac Escalade is almost a household name in Australia, but Lincoln’s attempt at large-scale luxury is no less impressive or imposing.

The production version of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator is the second of the much anticipated ‘new Lincoln’ range from of Ford’s luxury division, designed to embody more of the high-end luxury features found in European competitors while distancing itself from Ford’s mainsteam products.
