Freeman Klopott of the Washington Examiner reports that the fully-loaded SUV, which is costing the city $1,769 per month, is now Mayor Vince Gray's backup vehicle.

Brown rejected the first Navigator because it lacked a backseat TV monitor and a black interior, according to e-mails the Washington Post obtained and reported on over the weekend.

Brown announced Tuesday that he would be returning the replacement vehicle he was given.
