    Hyundai Palisade leaks out ahead of LA Auto Show

      First uncamoed pictures of Hyundai's new 8 passenger crossover

    Due to be fully revealed on November 28th, the first uncamouflaged pictures of the Hyundai Palisade have leaked out on a Russian website.  Positioned as Hyundai's flagship SUV, the Palisade is an 8-passenger crossover designed to compete with the likes of the Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Expedition, Nissan Armada, and Dodge Durango.  We saw a preview of the Palisade in the Hyundai HDX-2 Grandmaster Concept. Power is expected to come from one of Hyundai's V6es.  

    The Palisade effectively replaces the Sante Fe XL and will share components with the upcoming Kia Telluride

    I can't get a gauge on the size of this from the pictures.... Is it closer to an Armada or a Durango in size?  If it is Armada sized, this could be an interesting new entry.  I think less so if it is Durango sized just because there are so many entries at that level that are excellent.  Pilot and Traverse will eat it for lunch.

    • I love the clean '04 GT (that looks like the anniversary badge for an '04). I'm a sucker for that gen, even though they're kind of a black sheep of Mustangs. 
    • Obviously, but I'd think you could cut 200 miles worth of range on the battery pack and save hundreds of pounds making it just a more overall efficient vehicle and still yielding 700 miles of range.  As I said to David, I'd remove as much battery pack as the engine weighs so it would be a net 0 gain in weight and you'd still have a sh!t ton of range yet it would be more efficient at achieving those miles. I'd assume it would be similar to my guesstimated numbers above.
    • Without knowing specifics of their design, I'd think reducing the battery pack by the weight of the engine would yield sufficient results. You'd still have a ton of electric-only range and then you'd have your "backup genergator" for when you run out of juice.  Speaking of which, I ran into a guy with a 2nd gen Volt a few weeks back while taking my kids on a walk. I asked him how he liked it and what kind of efficiency/range he was getting. He loved it, HOWEVER.. he said he almost never plugs it in. He just runs it as a hybrid. I'm pretty certain they aren't all that efficient when operated as just a hybrid. I thought that was kind of a waste of a Volt, to be using it that way. I didn't tell him this because I didn't want to sh!t on his situation or anything, but I thought it was odd to buy a plug-in hybrid then just never even utilize the full capacity of the battery. Then again, this falls right in line with a multiple studies I've read about that say most plug-in hybrid owners never utilize the plug-in capability of their vehicles. 
    • Maybe, but if it sells units, they will build it. 
    • The Americans have given up on cars, and I have given up on the Americans. Also, water is wet, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Hume talked about the problem of induction, but this continuing seems like a pretty safe bet.    A low functioning theocracy is a bad thing, and what we are slipping into in the USA.
