Ford News: Ford Updates the Explorer for 2025
Nice update. The only thing I'm not 100% crazy on is the way the dash swoops down to reveal the rubber tray (I assume also wireless charging) in the center stack.

Mazda News: 2025 Mazda CX-70 Revealed
It's exciting to me LOL.. I like woodgrain interiors. Frustrating... one of the problems with my LaCrosse is it's a tight squeeze when getting in... I can only duck so much.

Mazda News: 2025 Mazda CX-70 Revealed
Well, there are a couple of differences like open-pore wood trim in spots, a full digital instrument cluster... but yes, the BMW X-3 interior isn't exciting either. I hate the BMW's exterior, though.

Mazda News: 2025 Mazda CX-70 Revealed
That's really incredible timing... I was just on their website last night saying, "Wow... why isn't there a 7? The 30, 50, and 90... there should be a 7 slotted right in the perfect spot." The interior looks a bit boring, IMO.

Chevrolet News:Chevrolet Gives the Equinox Fresh Looks for 2025
I really like the changes. Think a plug-in hybrid will show up? I don't want to go full electric, but a plug-in would be ideal for me as I could stay all electric with my commute, but have the range of a gas engine for trips to the parents.

Cadillac News: Cadillac Announces the 2026 Vistiq
I'm having trouble with the name. Vistiq, like Lyriq, or Vistiq like Vih-steek, like "chique".

Buick News: Buick Commits to All-Electric Porfolio by 2030, Introduces the Buick Wildcat EV Concept
Not digging the new logo completely. Don't like the new font. I actually like the trishield on an angle like it currently is. Well, times change. I'm not 100% sold on the Wildcat but it's not bad. All electric... my question is (and understand I've never done research on this), what is the environmental impact of producing/disposing batteries compared to the environmental impact of a combustion engine? Sure, there are major factors to consider on each side, but is an EV really that much better for the environment? Or is it all about not using traditional fuel? I currently can't charge a vehicle except for a specific spot in a parking garage I use for 2 hours/day at one building with work. Being someone who prefers road trips to planes, I'd like to see more fast-charging available all over (not to mention the ability to charge at home) before I ever invest in an EV.

Opinion: The Family Sedan is now on the Endangered Species List
It is upsetting to be honest. I do love a sedan. And I do love my sedan. That said, as I said in the other thread, I scrape EVERYTHING in mine. It's so bad the front bumper has to be hit with my fist to push the seam in as it meets the headlight housing. I can't enter a single driveway apron without scraping. And potholes... I'm not sure how the roads are outside of NY but you can't drive 10 feet without nailing a huge pothole. It's disgusting. Lately all I imagine is that 1990s Lexus commercial with the champagne classes stacked up going over a bumpy road failing on the current NY roads. My parents were recently looking at the Rav4 and were told they'd likely have to wait 2-3 months for one. They weren't impressed with the CRV and felt it felt slightly cheap in terms of material quality, which surprised me. I like the look of the Equinox, but I don't know about reliability, and it's likely near the end of its cycle as it's been out a while--that said I'm not looking to replace mine immediately. It's nice that I paid mine off quickly and don't have a payment.. especially since my rent went up $235/mo.

Honda News: Honda teases new butched up CR-V due out Summer 2022
I'm getting very tired of scraping absolutely everything in my car and having my tail stick out when I park in a parking garage for work and have been seriously looking at a CUV. Two that I've looked at are the CRV and the RAV4. I thought the CRV needed "something extra" to sway me honestly.

One of us in pain - Again
I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm trying to think of something similar... he wouldn't want me to not smile. He loved to see me smile. I'm sure your wife wants you to smile as well... and it'll come back at times--embrace it. Don't feel guilty like I do. I'm so sorry again.

One of us in pain
Thank you so much, everyone. It does mean a lot. My friends have been an amazing support system. Even my parents, which was quite unexpected. My mom cried for my loss and that she didn't get to know him. Don't worry, she stuck in a Bible verse before it was over so it couldn't be a complete wonderful experience.

One of us in pain
Thank you all. Sometimes I wonder if I'm in shock. Sometimes I'm angry. Often I'm depressed. I keep wanting to tell him things, so I tell him. At least we live in a world where cars have bluetooth so when I'm talking while driving, they don't have to know it's not on the phone. He was an incredible man. And he deserved a much longer, happier life.

I'm really impressed... those numbers are staggering. Blind spot monitoring optional, I'm sure.

Kia News: Kia Optima To Get Name Change, Two Turbo Engines
I would have thought with those power numbers the 0-60 would be much quicker... is it very heavy? The car in my opinion is beautiful inside and out. I prefer this to the Sonata. The lighting treatment for ambient inside and accent outside is tastefully done.
