I see some really good takes in here: But I’m factoring in making a 3 hour drive to southern WV, with my Wife, 2 kids, and all our stuff in tow.

It is the best vehicle they build. It was designed in the heyday of FCA, so no Stellantis influence, cost-cutting, or cheaped out engineering. The key was that they didn’t screw with usability, the body design looks good, the interior is extremely functional and user friendly, they hold their value, and most…

Oh, I promise you, if Front Drive was still an option, I’d probably have an Odyssey already. They’re LOVELY.

Oh of course, but knowing that doesn’t make me any less fond of those days. Step aside from the world in general here, because I didn’t intend to be political.

I do know. My Pacifica AWD lease is up, and I’m currently shopping for another.

Could be a flipper, could be a collector, could be a guy unsatisfied with the $50,000 minimum price of buying a new AWD minivan.

It does when the only difference in a 2018 that was $45,000 and a 2024 that is $63,000 is a bigger touchscreen.

Not me personally, but let me tell you the recent tale of my co-worker Josh,(A young, upbeat new salesperson and a great guy) and the awful time he’s been having with one particular customer. Let’s call the customer “Teddy.”

They’ll probably sell a good handful of these, because there are still people paying 60,000 plus for Wranglers.

Ahhhhhh THE BEST! The Clutch, that low rpm powerband, that long, straight shifter.

Driving my non-lifted, stock-tire-sized 1997 GMC 1500 long bed, two tone Silver on dark red with matching dark red interior:

The cube was an absolute tank. We got my sister one in 2009, during cash for clunkers. I think we paid like $11,500 for it out the door brand new.

Stellantis and their propaganda, I swear they get their ideas from watching the government officials in the “Chernobyl” special.

I would LOVE an XB. I think the Cube picked up pretty nicely too, but people were too divided over the styling. 

I’m not overly impressed with the mileage, but I imagine automatics would do better because of the lower RPMS. I’m averaging about 35. It’s decent I guess, but on the same commute I had a Chevy cruze manual that returned 42-43.

First Gen Kia Soul.

This was neat, and definitely a learning experience.

Most of o’ Kenny’s stores are near me in Ohio.

Oh wow, I had no idea!

Yeah thats a great point actually.
