  1. I think this could sell... it has coupish looks and a few design elements that although I don't care for, people seem to eat them up.
  2. Oh good, I was wondering what they were going to do with those old Park Avenue grilles... glad to see them repurposed. Are those turbine wheels from the grounded Boeings?
  3. It's going to be two 4-cylinder engines like the current lineup, and a hybrid. I can't imagine anything else. I'm hoping they don't throw a tiny 4-cylinder turbo in as a base engine. Probably an 8-speed auto standard. Would be very pleasantly surprised if AWD showed up as an option but truthfully, I don't know anything about this platform or their desires to offer AWD in the midsize sedan segment. In typical Hyundai fashion, I expect a slew of safety equipment standard.
  4. That interior sells it to me. Timing has to be right, but I'd lease this next.
  5. True.. that was the majority of the fuel behind this purchase. See what I did there? I'd like to see more options for charging stations in public spaces. I know some colleges have a few charging spots. It'd be interesting if like a college student (not owning a Tesla, but perhaps a Leaf or Bolt) could charge while in class.
  6. I believe my friend is charging on a 220 at home, and only once has he needed to stop at a station to charge (he drove upstate and back). For most peoples' needs, having the 440 at home would be a waste of money to install and only there for "bragging rights".
  7. I recall him driving down the highway and his daughter had just shifted to the one-buttcheek-wide middle seat after her sister got in the car, and she didn't want the heated seat on (the middle rear seat is also heated) and he's hovering his finger over the diagram trying to figure out which seat he has to turn off, which he has to turn on, how many clicks each is going to take because they're all at different settings, etc...
  8. It is absurd. Even the image on the screen is rotated to a sideview of the interior of the car... so you have to mentally rotate your head to imagine which seat she's sitting in based on the image rather than a top-down view which in my opinion would make more sense.
  9. Not to get off topic, but it still infuriates me to no end how 99% of the controls are in the screen. I mean, seriously, goddaughter is in the back seat and wants her heated seat on... driver has to go into the climate menu, then tap her seat to the desired level of heat. C'mon. So much unnecessary time looking away from the road. I was amused at the Yulelog you can play on the screen.
  10. I was JUST talking about this last night with my friend in his Tesla 3. I was asking if they shut the stores, how do people test drive cars?! Meet at a park? Does Tesla go to their house?
  11. So I admit to not knowing much about rechargeable batteries, but does charging them so quickly have any effect on the lifespan of a battery?
  12. 1996 Taurus ?
  13. It's funny, I don't use the power I have or had in a LaCrosse, but I definitely appreciate the smoothness and refined nature of a V6. I just don't like 4-cylinders honestly.
  14. Wow, Hyundai has been desperately trying to get me into a new vehicle and I kept saying there's nothing I really want and I wanted to lower my payments off the Genesis if I was going to stay in a lease... if this comes out in time, I'd lease a limited trim of this.
  15. Well, how much of a market is there for minivans these days? I thought most just went the CUV/SUV route...
  16. If priced right, I'd actually consider something like this.
  17. I love it! Not a fan of the color, but I love the style.
  18. That's great news... did I miss the news about Chrysler? Are they really a 1-vehicle show (I don't consider the dead 300 or the fact that they have the Pacifica and Pacifica plug-in as 2 vehicles) or is something else coming?
  19. Well, that is a confusing situation. There's a CPO 2018 Avenir and 2 Premiers that have my attention, but even though I can afford them, the rational side of me says, "You should prob just get the Essence... or why not that cheap 2016 Sport Touring with only 15K miles on it... that's a steal!" I also have to really drive the new one because I need to see if I would be able to 1) get in/out easily since I'm tall and the rooflines are low, and 2) if I can tolerate the start/stop. Supposedly it's good, but having had POS cars while in college, there's that anxiety you get when you feel the car has "stalled".
  20. That's probably what will happen. I am just then stuck between 3 different LaCrosses
  21. I do but honestly, it's the way the car drives that puts me off with the Genesis. The LaCrosse although older is smoother than my Genesis... the Gen drives sportier, which I can understand people want... I want the opposite. The Avalon, well, I guess I'd have to get the upper trims to really appreciate the interior and I was trying to keep the price down a little. I love the top interior trim of the Avalon (even if it has the center stack I'm not a fan of)
  22. You don't think the grille is too big? And the Camry is the same V6 and I've heard the same things about its speed.
  23. I can't get on board with the interior or exterior of the Avalon. The grille is way too big and I hate the center stack.
