Hi Whitney,

Were you ever interested?

Nope.

Oh, I’ve seen them, and my opinion is still valid.

Another nice interior ruined by a tablet screen slapped on the dash.

It’s nice, but it’s still no Toyota Alphard.

Why do you say that? The 3800V6 and the 4T60-E transmission are pretty much bullet proof. In the Northeast here there are still lots of 80s and 90s GM cars on the roads using some variation of this drivetrain. Also, parts are easy to find and are dirt cheap.
