Congrats, those ride and drive well.

Yep, white as snow lol but the pale gray looks really sharp too. A classic van color as well.

They never served out of Pittsburgh in any meaningful price effective way. Sure, they didn't charge for bags, but their prices where as high as American was with bags. Then I was also frequently an Gold status member with American and got domestic bags free anyway.

Correct. There's no way it's 150kw at those charge speeds. My guess is 40k - 50kw. The Chevy Bolt at 55kw can do slightly faster than a mile of range per minute when you're charging from 0-100% which is roughly the same as this RAV-4 PHEV speed at 10% - 80%.

@surreal1272 I'm guessing from the photos that the new vehicle is white, which is always a good choice for both heat and visibility. I've seen some in that enamel pale gray (they might have called it dove gray in the past) and they really caught my eye. (That color comes into style and goes, once being popular in Cadillac and Buick ... my dad had a Buick in that color with the tufted buttoned velour seats in the same color and long trips in it were a pleasure.) If I could have that, with a gray cloth interior, along with a 3.5 Pentastar V6, I would enjoy driving one. Not that I enjoy moving - I hate it - but the Chrysler vans can sure carry a lot of stuff with the seats down. On the GM side of things, I sort of miss the now long gone Silhouette minivan by Olds over those of the other GM divisions.

Some more pics.

Well, on top of being a Wagon nut, I have always had a soft spot for vans overall. The first 13 years of my life were spent riding around in my dad's 71' Chevy Sport 10 van (with a 3 on the tree) and so that has always stuck with me. As far as for doing this now, the space and versatility were big needs. I sold the Flex a few years ago (when the market was insane lol) and have been driving a 2014 Kia Sorento since then. I still have it but needed something bigger and more comfy for some future road trips so I started stopping out minivans. This is the Touring L model so it doesn't have all the bells and whistles but I only needed a few of each lol. It is a 2018 with 101K miles and was well taken care of. It spent its first 50K miles as a corporate lease so maintenance was always done. I had some concerns about the 9 speed but those fears were alleviated once I put my foot through the floorboard a few times to test it. Best of all, NO PAYMENTS> I finally got some long overdue money owed to me and pst of that to get this for $13K. Needless to say, I am a happy camper right now. It does ride well and I like that it rides on 17s instead of 18s or 19s. Softer ride on those. My best bud has the same year Limited model with the largest wheels and while his rides well, it is a little firmer on the bumps than this one. Again, pretty happy camper here. I wasn't real keen on them when they first came out but the look has aged well and my tastes have clearly changed as well lol.

These have the most luxury comfort ride of all the minivans.

My not quite new ride number 2…

Also, some people have genuine seafood allergies.

Good morning ... 416d037c-a50d-4e5a-8755-ff1afb477d5c.mp4 blame it on recent use of Lufthansa.
