I appreciate the effort by Apple here as someone who gets motion sick and often has to work on the move in Ubers/trains. Easy enough to not look at the phone when I’m traveling on my own, but I often don’t have great options during work-related travel.

Totally agree.  The data is pretty useless without an apples-to-apples per mile/km comparison. 

Was driving on the parallel 895 bridge over the weekend and noticed a ton of Stellantis/Mercedes product sitting at the port.

Yes - it only has two seats. I really liked it when I saw it at the auto show a few weeks ago, but with 3 kids and friends, we use the 7th seat pretty regularly, so this was a dealbreaker for us.

I have one! My 1999 BMW MRoadster. While not as powerful as the later S54 variants, it is still a heck of a lot of fun to drive and doesn’t look like a 25-year old car in my opinion.

GMC has said Acadia is getting upsized to match the Traverse and Enclave, with all 3 sharing the same platform. Acadia and Traverse are launching 2024 with the Enclave following a year later, based on what I’ve heard.

We’ve been very happy with our 2018 Premier trim, and I’d love to replace it with a Z71 or RS, but my wife vetoed it on that awful red interior trim that (at least based on the chevy website) can’t be removed. So we’ll either end up with an LT or the new Acadia if size is similar to the Traverse.  Also cross shopping…

A 1981 Volvo 240DL Wagon with a 5-speed. It was my mom’s car from new and put into storage for a bit before I turned 16. Master cylinder gave up at 40 mph one day and led to me power sliding across the lawn in front of a Denny’s. My dad and I still wish we had never had it towed out of the driveway.

Since I already have one, I suppose this is my default answer!

Happy to see more competition for the Traverse in terms of cargo space behind the 3rd row. We’re in the early stages of shopping for a replacement for our ‘18 Traverse and this is a welcome addition having owned multiple 4Runners and Siennas.

Smooth, fairly quick, unique in M guise, surprisingly reliable, in my garage

If he’s looking for something modern, the interior of the 4Runner isn’t it.  That said, he did say “more” modern, so maybe it is it.  As an owner of multiple prior-gen 4Runners, I couldn’t bring myself to buy a 5th gen because of the interior and lack of tech/safety features and ended up with a JGC. 

Shut your whore mouth! Voodoo blue is amazing.  ***Full disclosure, I own an Estoril Blue Z3M and a True Blue JGC and love all things blue.  

I usually put CNN on in the morning on mute while I work out and just noticed this morning that they play the “BREAKING NEWS” alert/crawler during the outro to commercial breaks. Maybe this has been happening for decades, but I never noticed it until today, and I found it completely ridiculous.

I am by no means very skilled and had the same question as you while I was waiting for release, but I have really been enjoying it with just the controller. I’m not all that deep into the game (just unlocked multiplayer, so maybe 4-5 hours) but have found it pretty great with just the dualsense on PS5. The feedback…

We have a rear-view mirror camera in our Traverse, and I love it. It took a few days to get used to, but now it’s second nature. The only time I turn it off is if the camera gets filthy, which happens occasionally in hard rain/snow. It’s especially great when we load the car up for vacation, and I still have a 100%…

Yep - I had a 2pm ET time slot today that I had gotten multiple emails about, only to receive yesterday’s announcement that it was sold out.  Sweet...thanks! 

Sounds like Fakeblock!

Totally agree. After owning a handful of 3G/4G 4runners, when I was shopping for a late-model used SUV late last year, I just couldn’t bring myself to get over the dated interior and drivetrain for the price. Ended up in a JGC, which certainly doesn’t have the reliability of the T4R, but I am happy thus far.
