Lexus News: All-New 2026 Lexus ES Gets Electrification On All Models
Paolino replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Lexus
I saw some other pictures of the interior, and although I still don't like the style, it was nice to see some different color options, like a light green leather.- 15 replies

Lexus News: All-New 2026 Lexus ES Gets Electrification On All Models
Paolino replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Lexus
Lexus, year after year, styles in ways that make me wonder how people are buying them. Each generation gets a little uglier. At one point I really liked their designs (although I tend to prefer conservative designs). I'm not quite sure what's going on with the doors... is that like a combination of woodgrain and plastic? Different types of woodgrain? Like the exteriors, the interiors of this and the current generation lost me...- 15 replies

Tariff Tuesday - Buick Killing it in China; Killed in the U.S.
Paolino replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Opinion
Frankly, I'm upset over this. I've always had a soft spot for Buick. -
Depends on how it's optioned out/priced. Won't know til I can tinker with the "build".

I really like that interior...

I know a lot of people who'd be all about this. That's one hell of an update. -
Hyundai News:The Big Hyundai Palisade gets a Big Makeover
Paolino replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Hyundai
Great updates. That interior, though... not at all a fan. Reminds me of something influenced by early 90s Saturn Ions or the 96 Taurus... I think it's the circles/ovals... -

Cadillac News: Cadillac Announces the 2026 Vistiq
Paolino replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Cadillac
New images really show it off... I love it... interior especially. -
Ok I saw a video of the interior... the steering wheel doesn't offend me anymore. I love the slate blue on the dash/wheel. It's nice to see some color coming back.

I don't know what it is... I'm not liking the small circle in the middle. But to each their own. It's just not hitting me right. It's more the exterior. The interior in general is nice.

Thumbs up interior (except the steering wheel). Thumbs down exterior. And the new badge/font have not grown on me at all...

GMC News: GMC Acadia Joins the List of Models with Huge Price Increases
Paolino replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in GMC Trucks
I love me a GMC. -
Nice update. The only thing I'm not 100% crazy on is the way the dash swoops down to reveal the rubber tray (I assume also wireless charging) in the center stack.

This is wonderful... more motivation to get a Honda one day.

It's exciting to me LOL.. I like woodgrain interiors. Frustrating... one of the problems with my LaCrosse is it's a tight squeeze when getting in... I can only duck so much.
-
Well, there are a couple of differences like open-pore wood trim in spots, a full digital instrument cluster... but yes, the BMW X-3 interior isn't exciting either. I hate the BMW's exterior, though.
-
That's really incredible timing... I was just on their website last night saying, "Wow... why isn't there a 7? The 30, 50, and 90... there should be a 7 slotted right in the perfect spot." The interior looks a bit boring, IMO.

Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Gives the Equinox Fresh Looks for 2025
Paolino replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
I really like the changes. Think a plug-in hybrid will show up? I don't want to go full electric, but a plug-in would be ideal for me as I could stay all electric with my commute, but have the range of a gas engine for trips to the parents. -
Cadillac News: Cadillac Announces the 2026 Vistiq
Paolino replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Cadillac
I'm having trouble with the name. Vistiq, like Lyriq, or Vistiq like Vih-steek, like "chique". -
Not digging the new logo completely. Don't like the new font. I actually like the trishield on an angle like it currently is. Well, times change. I'm not 100% sold on the Wildcat but it's not bad. All electric... my question is (and understand I've never done research on this), what is the environmental impact of producing/disposing batteries compared to the environmental impact of a combustion engine? Sure, there are major factors to consider on each side, but is an EV really that much better for the environment? Or is it all about not using traditional fuel? I currently can't charge a vehicle except for a specific spot in a parking garage I use for 2 hours/day at one building with work. Being someone who prefers road trips to planes, I'd like to see more fast-charging available all over (not to mention the ability to charge at home) before I ever invest in an EV.
