I agree with tech marching on but your costs are maybe 6 months ago.

This is an optimization/lazy port issue. Is the game storing thing to a drive cache for the PS5? And think that that read/write is doing to the drive for long-term health.

Cadillac CTS. Basically that is the window that Caddy finally started digging themselves out of the grave - but also the end of the run DeVilles might have been some of the best as well. Buick Lucerne/Lacrosse were excellent “boring” sedans. Even the 9th gen Impala was a very good cruiser if you could find one…

I had two Uplanders in my fleet. I had six 2006 Caravans. The gap in quality between the Caravans and Uplander was VAST. Boy, I hated the Uplanders.

Well, the Uplander is the prime example of “change the name and change the badge” approach on the same woeful product for decades. This Chevy version was just made even cheaper.

The issue on looks was that the Uplander was trying to cos-play as an SUV/truck. Really the front end looked tacked on and to make it fit on the u-body platform, it looked like it got its face stuck in a vacuum tube. In person, the proportions looked way off because who is going to make a long hood van... but kinda…

2008 Chevy Uplander - look at it’s ugly wannabe truck face and then realize its looks might be the best thing going for it.

Hooray, they still make a manual WRX! The world is a little bit better!

Just my guess, but my reaction will be...

The rear-facing carseat would most likely be on the outside. You are not going to crossload a infant carrier/convertible kid over another kid. Same would be true for an SUV.

Yes, you can. You have to do your homework and find the more narrow option. Often make a tradeoff on the ease of install or “expand/grow options. Like just a hard pass for a lot of Britax models since those suckers are 1.5 widths in a lot of cases. Really the two kids at 5/6 make it a lot easier as a 3yo might make…

I have found the “stuff” decreases from 3-4yo to 10+ish. And *for short trips* other than a water bottle, there is no need for more *stuff*. The back of a vehicle does not need to look like the floor of a chuck-e-cheese waste bin. I get longer trips having the entire livingroom available but that is what the minivan…

Say that with a straight face to folks that had C/K experience. The GMT800 is the reason why the Tundra succeeded. 

Actually yes - PhD covers buyer behavior and automobiles. Post academic employment I worked in a fleet gig.

Disagree and no, not wrong.

DONT DO IT. Spend some time to find carseats that FITS the Accord (Say $500 vs 50K+) . It isn’t like you have a 2+2. You have a LARGE family sedan.

This isn’t a reliability list. This is a willingness to repair list. Reliability factors into some of that willingness. But that Suburban is going to need a lot more to get to 200K than some other options here.

You are right. This is more about “willingness to repair” more so than actual reliability (but reliability does factor into that willingness”). Thus it is a two-factor as if it is a vehicle that is reliable you are more likely to keep or repair what might break or if the vehicle is expensive or hard to replace, once…

Beige is always the answer.... wut?

Almost nothing... but....
