Might consider another Nox if they find something besides the 1.5 for it. It really needs a hybrid/ bigger engine in there…..

Buick News: Next Generation 2025 Buick Enclave Finishes Out Buick's Refreshed Lineup
While I do like the new look, I have a concern on the price bump. With people flocking to cheaper models like the Chevy Trax, heavy price increases are not a wise idea. I can only assume the larger bump was to take into account they are going to need some discounts to move metal in the current climate……

That seems to be the idea that Ford and GM have out here. Plus for most it’s a good try before you buy. I feel that would be the route that I would go too…..

Ford News: 2024 Ford Edge is Ending Production in April
Dated yes, but you have to ride in one to understand why folks buy them. Much like the Ford Flex. They are a comfy ride to get you where you want to go. Used to enjoy the rides in my Aunt’s and a good buddy going places in them. It’s too bad they couldn’t do more with these. At least to me, they will be missed…..

GMC News: GMC Acadia Joins the List of Models with Huge Price Increases
Looks like more leases for the future, as most folks can barely afford the current prices now. Think this is what the auto companies want, a consistent customer….. Beyond the beef, it’s quite the looker now, and the turbo should really be able to move this nicely..

Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Gives the Equinox Fresh Looks for 2025
Having a Nox- I hated the look at first. But the more I look at it, it is growing more on me. Rugged look gives some cred against the Bronco Sport. The 1.5 will do for now, but they should add another engine sooner than later. Hybrid would be wise too. CVT requires care, or they don’t last. Just ask Nissan. Hoping all models are getting the roof racks, especially with the more rugged look. I really do like the inside of the Nox though….

Hertz Selling Off 30% of its EV Fleet because of Tesla
Think they simply had to many, and too much costs for upkeep on the Teslas. Also curious to see how many are rented as well. I imagine there is a little bit of fear there too. I think they would like a larger variety, preferably ones with less cost of upkeep. Renting these are the best way folks can see how they work. Slowly but surely there will be more…..

From Malibu to Pensacola in less than 1,000 miles – last call for Chevy Malibu – review via 1 week rental
I wish I could say well about the last Mali, but I haven’t been a fan of it since its last refresh. The 1.5 in this sucks- my Equinox with the same 1.5 doesn’t sound like it has a struggle sometimes to get up to speed. Worse off- they barely changed anything. At minimum, they could have passed the savings on to the consumer. Could have kept t around longer with some discounts…. With car getting even more expensive, they are going to wish they had more options than the Trax to offer to very cash strapped customers……….

Well, I’m thinking KIA might not even bother to fix the theft issue, as te damage has been done. And even newer Kias are disappearing now around here….. Is anyone else having loading issue? My IPad struggles hard on this site……….
