Those aren’t reviews you posted; they’re Rivian press releases. I say tighter because that’s the trend over the comparitive 27-yr old Suburban you’re used to. More storage space (console), thicker doors (crash protection), more substantial arm rests, etc.

Pretty much the southeastern tip of Sicily ... Pozzallo You can see the Mediterranean and maybe the ferry in the distance. It's probably the ferry to go to Malta ... not very far nor very different from Sicily, I'm told, but they drive on the left because of their historical ties to the UK. I'll have to put it on the list.

Looked good for him. Seriously, for as anti-religion as the populous seems to be going toward, it feels like some of this commentary is coming from Vatican City. 'Thou shall not receive lap dances'.

September 24 Acoustical parking ... I think the person behind the small sedan had left, so this looked even more invasive. Dumb inscriptions - a few years ago, I posted one of a Smart car that said "Farting Shirt" on it. Do they even know what the words they select mean? Another one of those minis powered by unknown means and said to be cheap, as in under 10,000 Euros, driven by a younger person on a budget, it seemed.

That got me thinking. Why would these two have the same jingle? So I googled. It turns out that an even LARGER and OLDER windshield replace shop bought out Safelite in 2007. Belron. A United Kingdom headquartered company founded in Cape Town, South Africa in 1897. And guess what? Speedy Glass was also acquired by Belron. Lebeau being the Quebec version. Belron operates in 32 countries acquiring glass repair shops in those countries. Safelite was founded in 1947 in Ohio Speedy Glass was founded in 1949 in Ontario I believe. Lebeau Vitres D'Autos of Quebec was founded in 1947. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safelite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belron

The latest RAV4 is a huge seller and actually has a semi stylish exterior. The highlander also it could be said same thing. Those 2 alone sell huge. The fact that they didn’t botch the styling on those 2 compared to their other styling disasters shows at least they are capable of improving parts of their operation that used to suck more. So they could potentially be capable of holding their #1. But then they continue to have sucky Tundras etc. IDK.

Interesting that rather than focus on building better products and delivering to the market products customers want they have resorted to suing and here we have Tesla expanding their lawsuit to now cover battery packs that Rivian is supposedly stealing for use in their own auto. Tesla claims Rivian is stealing ‘trade secrets’ about its ‘next-gen battery’ in expanding lawsuit (electrek.co) Original lawsuit was very vague that Tesla filed in 2020 about two employees that went to work for Rivian. Head of recruitment and head of their SuperCharger division. Rivian has since announced they will build out their own charging network around the world starting with North America first. Now Tesla has added 5 more people to the lawsuit that is filled in California and specifically stated that these individuals took trade secretes about their next-gen batteries that are coming. Honestly, Maybe Musk should be focused on Tesla rather than trying to move to Mars and set himself up as it's ruler.

Too bad that cash won't fix the reputation of garbage EVs from Chevy.
