    I'm not sure if I'm thankful or spiteful for @Drew Dowdell pointing out the ZDX exists and now I want that, but they're a fair amount more monies than a Prologue used still (as expected as it offers a more luxurious interior, bigger battery, and more performance). I'm looking everywhere to read more on it...

    My mistake, the sarcasm did go over my head.. oopsies! Oh yeah, I remember that couple. That is in the St. Louis area, if I remember correctly. I'm not exactly trying to defend how they went about this, but I do believe this was in a gated community in which protesters were not supposed to be to begin with. I would have felt differently had they just went out with their firearms on their side and never pointing towards anybody, but they didn't do that. They were/are clearly irresponsible gun owners, IMO.

    Are you saying you'd stop to ask questions to somebody breaking into your house before protecting your family?

    Yep, this is one of those things where the theoretical and mathematical equations just aren't equaling in the real world. On paper the 2.0T should be just fine and I'm sure the engineers have all ran specific tests and numbers saying this is the perfect configuration for their application(s) however, it just doesn't work out in the real world.

    I believe it is an improvement and that it will look good in person. I think the current gen looks good in person, as well. It's just disappointing that it's such a "meh" update outside of the front fascia.

    I'm less concerned about recalls than actually blowing engines/transmissions early and needing warranty work. But, as David noted, the 2.7 sounds like it did have early issues and I have definitely read and watched videos where the 10spd isn't exactly smooth or doing what people want or expect it to do.

    I bet some of that depends on the actual seat height and where your head is in the window. For somebody short like myself, it may feel more bunker-like if the seat is low. For example, the Camaro sat low with a low seat AND the window was small. One of my good friends had a 5th gen and I did not feel comfortable looking out of that thing. I felt like I couldn't see anything in any direction. My friend said backing it up was a complete guessing game. You just had to hope and pray nothing moved out while you were backing up.

    I think it has a pretty sharp looking front end now. That seems much improved. The lighting elements could maybe be a little larger. The interior looks like a nice place to occupy, but the damn screen that "isn't attached" all the way around drives me a little nuts. I also like how they use the center console area with the storage underneath (I know quite a few companies are utilizing this space now, and I like it). It looks like a good overall family hauler. HOWEVER, the one glaring issue and the one reason I wouldn't consider it, is the 2.0T engine. So they already had the 2.0T in the Atlas but they're giving it a few extra ponies but it's going to have LESS torque??? I just can't see a world where a vehicle this size should lose torque, unless the new torque curve is drastically different and produces all of its peak from like 1000-2500rpm. It just seems like it'll be a dog to drive around. I realize people don't need or want racecars as daily drivers or family vehicles, but I've already heard from a couple people who compared the current 2.0T to the VR6 and they hated how the 2.0T drove in comparison. Both ended up in a VR6 Atlas.

    Haha, Fair point. I guess I could have looked that up myself, too.
  10. ccap41
    Haha right?! Then again, I don't actually know what has been wrong with the Bronco. I know right out of the gate it had the horrid hardtop wind issue, but I don't actually know what's been wrong with it since.
  11. ccap41
    Hahaha yeah, that's what disappointing. I'm glad they have something in the works, but I don't understand how this company stays afloat. Are Ram and the Wrangler THAT profitable that it can prop up the entire company while they continue to make mediocre after mediocre products?
  12. ccap41
    It's disappointing they couldn't just make a good, working product. On the surface, it seemed like a killer family vehicle for those wanting maximum efficiency.

    Unless it's an EV, Hyundai/Kia aren't known for reliable ICE vehicles. I couldn't find anything here that states if it's supposed to be ICE or EV. Did I miss it by chance?

    While I don't think he's doing great nor polling great, using CNN as a source for bad news against Trump isn't exactly a non-biased, reputable source.

    You're on to something here, but I kind of disagree-ish..lol I think it does have a pretty high beltline but it also had a pretty tall peak window height, buuuuuuut the window isn't conventionally shaped. It looks like it is nearly a 45 degree angle from the point at the front to the peak by the door opening. Maybe it's just the angle of the picture but it looks like it gets tall faster rather than a longer window that gets to its peak over a longer distance. Does this make sense or am I just rambling and I can't get the thought out of my head clearly? I understand what I'm thinking, but I don't think I can turn it into words very well, haha.

    I can't tell if I like how this looks or not. Part of me likes the exterior quite a bit but something stands out to me that I just don't love. I think maybe it's the greenhouse's height. It almost just looks too tall. Is this based off the Crown?

    While I don't exactly think anything going on is right, I also don't think trusting anything an oil company CEO says is smart either. They've kind of been known to stick it to us over the last... forever-number-of-years. Chevron is the prime beneficiary of the Venezuelan oil situation so they have reasons to want to keep oil prices high. They're producing more and selling it higher.

    Hard freakin pass on that body shape. Maybe not "ever" but it's sure in the top 5-10.
  19. ccap41
    I can't tell if I like what this is or not. Part of me applauds the use of hybrid technology to make a quick and efficient car. The other part of me things it's unnecessarily heavy and complex to achieve that. I say this because if I were to actually be shopping for this, do I really care about 50 miles of range in a performance car like this? I probably wouldn't. I'd likely want a full EV for daily use and a full ICE for toying around. I get this bridges the gap and is an all-in-one car instead of two, but I just don't see myself ever wanting something like this. I freakin love how the hatchback looks though.

    Maybe because I'm not a Costco member, but that link didn't show any Hondas. It showed deals on Volvos, Polestars, and the Silverado EV. Also, nowhere close to 17k. The best deal was 2k off for the EX90 and only for executive members. Ideally, I'd love the press release green/blue. I'd settle for the other blue or red and would really not want silver, white or black. If I'm being honest though, I'm sure I'd still buy silver, white or black for the right price. Okay, maybe not black. I don't want to deal with a black color and trying to keep it clean. I've had one black car and that was enough to experience the hatred for attempting to keep it clean.

    Dang, there are no ZDX within 200 miles of me and when I jump to 300 miles, they're more like 34-40k still... Do you guys have a link to read more on this Costco discount?
  22. ccap41
    The base FWD and non-SS AWD are also the same as the Prologue, battery and motors. The Prologue just doesn't get the RWD-only RS or AWD SS. I'd be perfectly fine with a ZDX, but there are none within 200 miles of me... Of course.
  23. ccap41
    The Prologue is a sibling to the Blazer, not the Equinox.
  24. ccap41
    Obviously. I'm also sure the lease mileage wouldn't fit my needs either.
  25. ccap41
    I've seen many in the 23-27k range and they only have like 15-20k miles on them. It's hard to believe Costco pricing beats that.
