The Pacifica Plugin Hybrid has my interest. Life with kids really has changed my perspective in a huge way.

Adaptive Cruise Control module

Yep. Any time you see a 16kWh battery that is the reason. I do wish the requirements would automatically rise like 1 kWh per year but I no longer work at the IRS so I try to avoid making sense of tax legislation. :)

Hellica. Only available in California

Well....

I’m heavily considering this for my family’s next vehicle because 3 row crossovers are pretty stupid but what held me back from minivans is a Hybrid/electric version that isn’t $100k like the Tesla. I’ll see how the first year goes for these in terms of quality and then buy.

Not correct in this case. REAR stow and go is the same but the middle row loses stow and go.

That is based on:

The area the US needs to invest in is Electronic Warfare. All this physical ship building is great for pictures but increasingly makes less of a difference in force projection compared to EW and Cyber allowing aircraft to penetrate further after being pushed out in places like the S. China Sea.

Sorry but any hope of selling pickups without 4 doors is gone, dead, buried, and decomposed.

Yes. My wife insisted on a moonroof/sunroof for her car but seeing as we live here in Austin she has decided even with tinting that opening up the shade for it is simply too hot.

Amazing cars really but sell so badly. I am really hoping to pick up a barely used 2015 V8 VIP optioned one for $30k!

Just don’t get it from this OffLease Only place. They intentionally price things low and then absolutely screw people with fees and high APRs as well as refusing outside financing etc. They are a really horrible dealer.

I can’t think of a good reason why not. Is it because it is BMW or something? Otherwise, these leaks are no different from all the ‘spy shots’ that are half intentional leaks anyways.

My experience with Beepi is that you, like other companies, are on the higher end of pricing and lower end of trades. So, Carmax pricing and dealer trade in (the worst combination). In exchange for that you deliver to the house and I don’t have to spend an afternoon at a dealership.

Here is why I am not ready to buy online: I don’t buy new cars. It doesn’t save me money. It doesn’t really save me time. It seems to exist only to make money off me in the margins

How are the panel gaps? I looked at XC90s a few weeks ago and noticed they had some odd panel gap quality issues. Wasn’t sure if that was a new volvo thing or what..

Which explains why PLATINUM trucks have that HUGE silver tailgate cover. Kinda like those Lincoln pickups were super fancy with the trick tailgate. Differentiating them from the unwashed masses.

The new F150s are actually really reasonable on MPG.. I believe the new 2.7L ecoboost makes up to 26 MPG hwy which just about matches a Honda Pilot, beats the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and many others while making more power as well.

To be honest: The same people buying $70k cars. Except with a pickup you get advantages such as: 1) Better depreciation 2) Better utility 3) Reasonably priced options (looking at you BMW and Mercedes)
