Haters gonna hate. This is a supremely nice big SUV. If it’s gotta be all screens inside then they crushed it with this one. Haters. Gonna. Hate.

Maybe I’ve been poisoned by how bad the Tahoe and Yukon are, but I think this is easily the best of the trio. 

What’s more convenient then plugging it in every night when you get home? Are you regularly driving 250-300 miles a day? If so, then yeah, it’s not for you. 

Or even other vehicles under the same company that people actually want to buy: Yukon Denali, Suburban, Equinox, XTS, etc

Cadillac is Super Cruise, not supercruise. Different words. 

A) Nobody calls it a “right” to pay thousands above MSRP

People may not be paying markup, but I guarantee those dealers are using that as a starting point to negotiate down to MSRP and insist they’re giving you a deal.

News flash: Having a baby doesn’t necessitate a three-row SUV. I’ll grant maybe you have kids already and are adding to the family. 

Even MSRP for these things is a dubious proposition.

There is zero chance in hell that these Hyundais and Kias, regardless how nice they are, will have the resell of a Toyota or Lexus. Zero chance. 

Ha! Blame every major automotive news publication that’s reviewed it and given it high marks.

You know, now I’m curious, will most banks even finance a car when it’s sold way over MSRP? My question even applies to manufacturer financing. It makes no sense to finance a car that is not worth as much as it’s being paid for as the car is the asset in case you default.

It’s so they can give you up to $10,000 for your trade in if you act today!

Interesting take. I also wonder if it’s to offset the "Guaranteed $5000/6000/10000 for your trade-in" that they have to mark it up by at least however much they're giving you for you 1989 Ford Taurus with a broken transmission.

This falls in line with a common line I've heard from car critics. Hyundai/Kia can build the best cars in the world, but their crap dealerships will sink them every time. They have to get that fixed. 

If all you got were the “then available rebates,” you paid sticker or more, NOT “Below MSRP...” now, if you got it for $2900 below MSRP LESS rebates (which you’re entitled to regardless of selling price) then you’ve got something to talk about...

Maybe there’s an entire subclass of customers who want bragging rights on how much money they lost on needless markups over MSRP combined with wonderful Korean brand depreciation.

This is like Kohl’s marking up a pack of socks from $10 to $20, then discounting 50% to draw in people who can’t do math.

Dealer markups are usually reserved for limited-run vehicles, and those tend to be sports cars. When a company makes a run limited to X number of vehicles, that supply will always be limited to X. These SUVs are only limited for now. Demand is currently greater than the supply, but Kia/Hyundai is going to make as many

Stupid people. That’s your answer.
