I often drive by a L-M dealership and am able to glance at their inventory that is on the lot or in the showroom. Sometimes I actually stop in. They are a low-key dealership. They have a beautiful pearl white Lincoln MKS. They also have a silver one. From the outside, the car has got quite a stance. Most of its angles are good. I am not so sure I like the austronaut effect once inside. It has the high console just like the new Taurus. Also, once inside, you know you are in one hefty car. I think it's a very attractive vehicle, but it's way above my price point and way above the "statement" I need to make with my car - that is, if I need to make one at all. I can tell you that I liked the first-gen Cadillac CTS, thinking what a great step forward it was for the brand. Rapidly, one saw many of them on the road and the age of those driving them was lower than what I would have imagined for Cadillac. I do NOT like the new CTS. I think it's overstyled. Also, sitting in one, the pillars are too thick and visibility is not what I would like. However, it gets good reviews. I am happy about that, because it's a GM product. Of these, I pick the Lincoln MKS. The Lincoln is more timeless. The Cadillac's current styling platform for this car is more trendy. What's your take?

Go for the GMC Envoy. If a Rainier slipped out from under you, maybe it wasn't meant to be (glass is half empty). Or, if another one became available, maybe it was meant to be (glass is half full). Ok, so back to the topic: - GMC still sells that vehicle...Rainier is discontinued...and that model name probably gets a "huh" from those not as familiar with vehicles as the people on this forum - white is safer at night...and doesn't fade - 10,000 miles is not much difference...everything has "seated" by now - the 4.2 I6 is, as you say, thirsty...however, it has supposedly held up ok over the long haul (learn something new every day: never knew it was called Atlas, though I do remember Vortecs)...but, considering the Jeeps for a second, all the 6s in those vehicles also consume a lot of fuel Let us know what you decide, or if you are going to pass on both.

That's great...on the road for 21 years, and in the northern tier of the U.S. no less! Really sorry about the cat, even though I'm more of a dog person. They do stuff like that...crawl up into a wheelwell and "make a nest." I just remembered...that really nice bucket seat equipped Regal with a trestle shifter might have been called the Regal S/R. There may have even been a Century version of it. Even though I really liked that 231 c.i. V6, it would have been nice if Buick also offered the Olds 260 V8 in this car, seeing that Pontiac offered it in the equivalent LeManses. Thanks for the trip down "memory lane."

Be safe. I am sure you will see a lot of things, so use good judgment! Echoing what the others said, THANK YOU!
