The Telluride is super overrated despite all the strange love it gets on here. The wheels look cartoonishly too small, and you get exactly the power and interior quality that you pay for. An Audi Q7 or Volvo XC90 alternative it is not. And not to mention, you get the pleasure of dealing with the KIA dealer network.

I would say an Accord being longer rides better. A GLC is pretty much the least Mercedes-like riding car and is full of cheap interior plastic, very entry-level. 

While 8 year old me growing up in the UK thought it was super cool (sideways seats in the trunk!) my parent’s worst car has to be their 1996 P-reg Land Rover Discovery which the local AA (like AAA in the US) referred to as a Land Rover Recovery. Sure it looked great - ours was darker than the below in Epsom Green…

It’s a bit strange that the P38 Range Rover isn’t on that list.

I think this is a cool step forward - it’s not really about the actual car in terms of looks, it’s really about the technology - once evolved, and purchased by a big legacy automaker could eventually be a game changer, at least in sunnier climates like here in California.

Lucid really could have worked - rebadge the Air as the second gen Model S, new Gravity becomes new Model X. Then Tesla might have some products that aren’t a decade old.

Northern California so pretty close or not ha.

+1 for the Volvo V90! Also, a tidy 2018-2021 Mercedes E450 Wagon could also be found in budget.

We do both. We own our 3 year old Range Rover (bought it off our 3 year lease because the rates were so good earlier this year) and we lease our 2022 Taycan. Leasing is great if you’re not sure about a car, or with the Taycan, we felt it was less committal since EV tech is changing regularly.

These two made a baby.

What do you drive?

Ok, now it’s a Prius:

Taycan seems to do just fine.

I haven’t noticed a difference between my old 991.2 and new Taycan. It easily swallows a carry-on suitcase.

Since when did the Taycan not have a frunk? It’s pretty similar to a 911's frunk and easily fits a carry on bag + backpack.

You seem quite angry. Probably not the best time to mention that people buying $60k+ EVs were also still getting $7,500 tax credits until very recently this year.

Same here, also voted no. It’s not up to us to subsidize people getting into brand new cars. Definitely agree it would be better focused on better public transit and infrastructure. I actually would pay a little more tax for better roads or increase the number of interstate toll roads.

Looks great. This is going to sell so well, especially in our local area. It feels like the current XC90 is the upper-middle class SUV de rigueur around these parts - affluent Northern California. It’s more practical (7 seats) and less flashy than a Range Rover, less aggressive in design than the Audi Q7 or BMW X7.…

New cars - particularly from luxury or premium brands - have essentially been highly advanced computers on wheels for about 2 decades now.

This is just a very mild facelift of the current e-tron SUV, a perfectly fine car, but it seems really weird to call it a Q8 though, since size-wise it’s much smaller than a Q7 and the ICE Q8 which is a completely different car. Q6 would make more sense.
