Similarly, the 2019-2020 K900 was a proper luxury sedan that looks imposing going down the road. These are the years of its only refresh and it lost the V8 in favor of a turbo V6 but it gained tech and looked great.

The original Osaka Japan airport had all those problems and then some, so a major engineering project with an artificial island and now Osaka has a modern thriving airport. QUOTE: Osaka's Kansai International Airport was built on an artificial island in Osaka Bay to relieve overcrowding at the original Itami Airport. Construction began in 1987 and the airport opened in 1994. The project was a major engineering feat, requiring the creation of an island using soil dredged from Osaka Bay and quarried from nearby mountains. The airport is designed to operate 24 hours a day and serves as a major international hub, handling millions of passengers annually. Despite initial challenges, such as subsidence, the airport has continued to thrive as a significant aviation center in Japan. The History Behind Osaka Kansai International Airport

You dont really need a car if you are only doing the Montreal downtown core along with Old Montreal. We do have a fantastic public and Metro (subway) system for that. Plus its walkable...in the summer/fall. Spring is rainy and slushy. Its your choice really on that for the Spring. Winter is doable if you do not mind snow. Its not that cold nowadays with climate change. Oh...we do have the REM that goes from Pierre Elliot airport to Downtown now. Like I said, no need for a car. YUL is actually a not too bad airport to accomodate visitors. THIS being the REM. Above ground subway. Its electric. Part of the solution that was going to be between YUL and downtown and a fast railway to Mirabel that NEVER materialized in the 1960s and 1970s. Which was a third of the fatal flaw of Mirabel that I was talking about earlier. SOOOOO.... we got a part of that solution in the mid 2020s. Better late than never. YUL still shares another fatal flaw with Mirabel. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. YUL is smack right in the middle of a very very populated city. Mirabel had the opposite of that. Mirabel was/is situated very very very far from the city it needed to serve. It was located there for political and economical reasons. The economical reasons was it was supposed to serve Ottawa as well. But...a highway or two was needed to be built linking Ottawa and Montreal VIA the town of Mirabel. Highway 13 and Highway 20 to be completed. Highway 13 is still a mess while Highway 20 being completed 10 years ago. Better late than again... Plus the railway way systems I mentioned earlier.

I prefer the Hyundai's exterior styling quite a bit more, but this is still a handsome sedan. Ideally, I much prefer the refreshed Genesis more, too.

All we can do is kick up as big of a stink as we can to get this nonsense to stop. I beat up GM on social media as much as I can about the EV-Carplay thing.

I’m perfectly fine with 1996 tech. I’m getting more suspicious of modern tech because of the issue of spying. I think my 300C hits a sweet spot on technology in that it has things like car play , automatic braking, and adaptive cruise, but it’s not calling home and telling mom every time I accelerate too hard.

Dorval airport or Pierre Elliot Trudeau International Airport to non-Montreal natives is a lot worse. I am too exhausted to start naming ALL the bloody things wrong with it but everything that NYC's 3 airports have as flaws, Dorval has those. Plus hundreds of others. Mirabel was constructed in the 1960s to fix YUL (to those that travel a lot know Trudeau airport by its calling) but Mirabel had 3 fatal flaws in it and that is why now its only a cargo, private jet and Bombardier Aerospace/Airbus airport. BTW, YUL also shares 1 of those Mirabel flaws... Montrealers and tourists alike deal with it. Barely. Drivers in Montreal are suppressing their anger towards it. And Quebec announced in July that another 10 BILLION will be awarded to renovate it again. To accommodate increased tourist capacity and business growth . Phase 1 to completed by 2028. Phase 2 by 2035. Mirabel cost Quebec BILLIONS to solve increased tourist capacity. EXACTLY that amount that YUL is expected to accommodate. But referendums to split from Canada destroyed those tourist dreams and business endeavors. Its come back I guess. But Mirabel is no longer able to be transformed for civilian air travel... What Im saying is, Id rather have NYC's airport problems than Montreal's...

Like a crossover version of the Buick Electra Concept in China I mean... they're actually already doing it. LGA is in the final stages of a total rebuild now. EWR is getting completely rebuilt too. That said, there's only so much they can do with the real estate they have. It's kinda the reason for the weird design EWR had in the first place. They were trying to cram more gates in. LGA was NEVER intended to be the major hub that it is. It was suppose to be for short haul flights (by our modern standards) mainly and when JFK was built, that was for the longer haul stuff. LGA had to extend the runway into the Hudson to accommodate the larger planes. The airport was originally built in 1939.

How many billions is that going to cost? Have the Red States fund them...

The 3 major airports in NY are all terrible and should be bull dozed, then rebuild modern. The remodels are a joke that they have done, especially at Newark.
