My wife absolutely loves her Sienna Limited AWD with the recliner seats in the back. We traded my Regal TourX in for it and she couldn’t be happier, and driving it does not suck at all for me. I drove it from Syracuse to Detroit and got well into the 30's MPG. There is no better road trip machine, really looking…

I bought one of these with 100k miles for $200 from a coworker, drove it for another 100k, and sold it for $400. The only major things I put into it were brakes, ball joints, and a wheel bearing. I thought it needed a transmission at one point, but Seafoam then a fluid change took care of it. A plastic heater hose…

I believe it’s “Bornt”

Maybe there’s a valid technical reason? There could be driveline component(s) that wouldn’t survive dumping the clutch with the traction/leverage 35" tires offer. In that case, engineering specific parts for a low take rate or overbuilding the standard parts wouldn’t be cost effective.

I suppose that means now is the time to buy a manual Veloster N Performance, since next year dealers will only stock DCT’s?

Closest Popeye’s to me has their parking lot connected to AutoZone. Practically one stop shopping for me - oil change supplies and a spicy chicken sandwich.

Oh, that’s easy - Get all the boxed kitchen cabinets and drywall and tile and appliances and chop saw, etc. out of the 3 car garage so I can actually put cars in there, and finish cleaning up the Touareg that’s sitting outside to sell it.

Old Subaru Outback.

This. A CNC mill or even surface grinder can’t produce a surface beyond a certain level of flatness. Beyond that requires hand scrapers, prussian blue, and skill.

2900 miles on a 2018 TourX Essence here. LTG is not a Saab engine, all GM. Shared with Camaro, Malibu, etc. Trifecta has a tune that I’ve heard good things about. 8 speed Aisin automatic is fairly dimwitted, it’s my only major complaint, other than no start/stop disable. Parked next to my wife’s 2016 Outback, it’s…

I park mine next to my wife’s 2016 Outback, it looks gorgeous in comparison.

Totally agree. I love mine, though I do wish it was as quick as my last 2 daily’s - Focus ST / Forester XT with STi parts. It’s an order of magnitude more refined, though.

I just bought the answer - Buick Regal TourX Essence. Leftover 2018's can go for around $30k

Nice! I was just randomly thinking about Quantum Leap this morning too.

Early 2000's German reliability AND northern NY road salt - what could possibly go wrong?

He’s like the Dennis Gage of econoboxes.

We have a winner!

1996 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 2 door. 1994 Pontiac Trans Sport. 2004 Subaru Forester XT 5MT cloth seats. They don’t make them like those anymore.

Well it’s definitely in Cortland, so I’d take that bet.
