    Will they have pastries at least? Volvo usually has the best cinnamon buns.

    When everyone sits up high, no one sits up high.

    Saving Maserati and Alfa was a fools errand run by Sergio.

    I can't get a gauge on the size of this from the pictures.... Is it closer to an Armada or a Durango in size? If it is Armada sized, this could be an interesting new entry. I think less so if it is Durango sized just because there are so many entries at that level that are excellent. Pilot and Traverse will eat it for lunch.

    Sold it.... CR-V is finally gone.

    Because it's hard to drive without putting your foot in it. Stick a pebble in the turbo impeller and see how satisfying a 2.7 liter 4-cylinder Silverado is to drive. The boost is necessary even in average driving, and that is when you start to suck fuel.

    Just like the Avalanche.... a 2013 LTZ with 45k miles can still command over $35k. I've seen nicely kept Escalade EXTs in the $60k range. They've both been out of production for 5 years.

    Due to be fully revealed on November 28th, the first uncamouflaged pictures of the Hyundai Palisade have leaked out on a Russian website. Positioned as Hyundai's flagship SUV, the Palisade is an 8-passenger crossover designed to compete with the likes of the Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Expedition, Nissan Armada, and Dodge Durango. We saw a preview of the Palisade in the Hyundai HDX-2 Grandmaster Concept. Power is expected to come from one of Hyundai's V6es. The Palisade effectively replaces the Sante Fe XL and will share components with the upcoming Kia Telluride. View full article

    Performance is more than straight line. In my experience, the V6 versions of both of these cars have trouble keeping traction as it is under full throttle from stop.

    I agree with most of what you said, but the bolded part is incorrect. For 2019, you can get a 3.0TT on the new Sport model which comes in at $67k instead of the $87k of the Platinum. On the 2018 model, the 3.0TT was available on the Premium Luxury trim for $70k.

    That's terrible.... I get the point they're trying to make... that the Terrain is powerful for its size.... but they don't do a good job of making it.

    This one is pretty darn good too.... I like the sneaky gay innuendo in it.

    Cadillac has had some great commercials over the years. Different topic, but still wish they would bring back the "jingle". This is one of Cadillac's best. There should have been an entire campaign built around the "Fame" theme.

    yeah, it's sad they could only move that many. They're an impressive car, but RWD only and not a crossover. I'm betting an XT5 PHEV with the same spec would have sold significantly better.
  16. Drew Dowdell
    On the EV part, sure.... But that's going to be true for any EV. The EV parts of a CT6 are just from a Volt anyway, so the skill set is the same there. Changing the oil is the same as any GM 2.0t. I'm most likely going with FCA vehicles next time though.

    Silver lining: I can scoop one of these up after major depreciation hits.

    She pretty gentle on it? If so and she is staying out of the boost, she has effectively gone from a 2.4 liter to a 2.0 liter. She also went from a 4-speed auto to a 6-speed auto. It will probably end up under 33 after a while, but should still do better than the '09. You could also just reset the average reading.
  20. Drew Dowdell
    Definitely, I just can't do a new(er) vehicle right now.

    Left the CRV at PepBoys for the list that needs to be repaired on it.
  22. Drew Dowdell
    Yeah, this will be the most expensive of the mid-size trucks.

    Most people who have EVs never have to sit there in a Panera with $9 Mac-n-Cheese because most people are not doing 400-mile journeys every day. The car gets charged up at home. What's going on is that the Tesla owners are overusing the free SuperCharging. They're being cheap wads and potentially harming their battery's life in the process. They still haven't switched their mentality away from gas-powered cars. The only people who should be at a Supercharger should be those who don't have enough juice to get home. Based on my driving habits, I'd have to charge up once a week at most... I can do that at home. Charging every night is not necessary. Plugging a Bolt or Model S in at night once a week when I'm done driving for the day takes far less of my time than filling up with gas at the local Costco.

    There are people out there who will never buy used. I'm not saying it is a good prospect... but if Mitsubishi can keep the lights on, so can these Chinese players.

    I disagree with @dfelt that the falling price of oil is a sign of recession. If anything, low price oil will help to prevent one. However, it will cause job losses in the energy sector, particularly in Texas and other mid-west oil-producing states. If it stays that way for too long, those job loses can start to ripple through the economy. No, the issue to watch is interest rates, housing sales, and some of the big names on the stock market.
