So we can expect the Denali interior in the Escalade?

Most of the Big Boys have IRS now not so much for ride quality, but in order for the 3rd row to fold into to the floor instead of either wrestling a heave seat out or losing all important cargo space.

It’s partially ingrained, learned response like the “keeping up with the Jonses”, and more recently with the popularity of reality shows like “Keeping up with the Kardashians” and internet “influencers”.

I really, really like it. The shape shows that Hyundai knows what this is-a comfortable, luxury (or near lux) cruiser with almost no sporting pretentions. It’s a nice change really. I’m sure it will lift up it’s skirts and move when you need it to, and with modern suspensions and computers, won’t be dangerous and

I bet darker versions will look better. And it is distinctive.

Gotta make the U-haul and RV industry happy....big money there, or at least enough.

I had a 2020 Audi Q3 for a rental recently with similar-but even more pronounced-rear haunches. When viewed from any sort of distance, it looked like the rear door had been damaged, to the point of me going out to make sure that was not the case.

It doesn’t count if you were revealing one of you fetishes to him and you asked him not to repeat it you filthy bastard!

I live close to where the speed limit on I-10 from 75 to 80 headed west here in TX. I almost feel sorry for the out of state folks who see the 80 sign and boot it to 90 or more, as there is always a pretty impressive local county and highway patrol presence to make sure folks don’t take advantage of the higher speeds.

With all the problems I had with my Rabbit, I thought maybe it was kind of the same. It was a ‘77, so maybe they were trying to fix the problematic areas of those produced in ‘75-’76.
