March 14, Tesla will unveil the Model Y SUV. Should be very interesting.

 

Yes, it looks rather strange and I swear the rear doors (and maybe more) are off of the Ridgeline. It is a cool idea though.

The I-Pace is definitely out of reach of the average consumer. I was at the Milwaukee Auto show yesterday and they had one in red. Why is it styled so strangely like every other electric car (except Teslas)?? They had a big display of electric and Hybrid cars. New Leaf, Honda Clarity, Prius, Bolt, and a Tesla Model 3. They are all so strangely styled and ugly, especially compared to the Model 3 which is simple and elegant.

1st you like the Guilia all of a sudden and now you don't like the Stinger. Glad to see we are finally in agreement. What took you so long?

 

First I hated the Guilia, then I loved it. Whereas first I liked the Stinger, and now I don't.



I think the off-putting strangeness in the Alpha's design took a while for me to appreciate. And I think the components that make up the Stinger's design impressed me at first, but now it just looks awkward.

 

I saw a white Giulia Quadofolio and I was in love. But that was from the outside. It is almost a Ferrari, but at the price of a BMW

 

I sat in one at the Autoshow over her recently...ended up feeling the same..something about the interior that I just found off putting and downscale...I was a bit surprised because all the youtube videos I've seen of it it seems pretty nice.... I didn't feel the same way about the Genesis G70 at all though...its interior felt so much nicer..I wasn't expecting there to be such a big difference in feel given the car's shared platform...

 

I wish the G70 was a hatch. I think it is a good size, the weight could be less. One of the redeeming things about the stinger is that it is a hatch. I have thought of the Toyota CU next tuesday for the fuel econ and dual injectors, but damn that thing is big. It would be better with 6 inches lopped off and a better front end.

 

Oddly enough, Genesis wasn't at this Autoshow. Probably because it's only representative of local dealerships, and we don't have a Genny dealership, just three Hyundai locations.

I felt the Hyundai Sonata's interior was very rewarding, and the overall design pretty darn appealing. Not that I aspire to own a Sonata, just saying... damn fine sedan.

The Kia Optima, however, after a brief model run that turned heads, it's just another disposable car these days.

 

I really wanted to like the Stinger--excluding the lack of a 6MT--because on paper, it sure seems to check all the right boxes. But the execution just falls short for me.

The G70 is on the list to replace my wife's Accord in the next 18-24 months as I'd like to sneak something by that doesn't suck to drive

 

what is a toyota cu?

 

It is a Mid Sized Car that they make, but it isn't good to say such things in polite society. The full name is a Toyota C

tueday.

It would be like an Altima, but built by Toyota with a 2.5L 4 cyl with both port and direct injection.

 

I still don't know what vehicle you're talking about. I work for Toyota. The only 4 cylinder D4S injection we have is in the camry at this time

Damn did I just say the forbidden word?

 

 

For all we know, he drives a BMW Supra.

 

You have 3 Hyundai dealerships and none of them carry Genesis? That seems odd to me. Or is it more common for Hyundai dealerships not to carry Genesis?

Are you talking about the current Sonata or pictures of the new one you have seen that was just released in Geneva?
