CAR new car thread to argue about - Telluride v XC90 v Q7 -

[smell my finger]

hmm the bad ass green Lexus GX is a new exclusive top end special edition and will probably be mid to upper 60s for a car from 2003

theres very little wrong with it, but Im not excited about it

That pretty much sums up their entire lineup.
They are great vehicles, across the board. There isn't one in particular that gets my blood flowing.

Is this a car for you or your wife?

 

[dmac411]

BTW, a T6 with the polestar ECU upgrade is worth every penny. It’s like a boosted Dynamic Mode.

ORRR get that T8 and never look back.

for me most of the time, we kinda switch cars depending, plus work from home, but if we're both leaving the house I'd be driving it

Ah. If that’s the case, go get that Audi RSQ8.

not worth the t8... 99% of my driving is 25-40 mph in small townships or highways with cruise control set at 7 over

 

[dmac411]

Or the Audi RS6 Avant. Incredible machine.

Fucking hell man. Live a little!

I had a wrx living in the blue ridge mountains and two sport bikes, I'm boring now

 

[Dr. Charisma]

oh shit... didn't realize you could get the Lexus GX for around the same money:

it's dated af, but they upgraded the infotainment for 2022

This is the interior on a $60k Lexus?

In 2021?

 

[smell my finger]

yes, it looks like a slightly nicer version of a tundra

 

[Dr. Charisma]

I mean the ''nicer'' part is kinda generous but maybe it's just a bad pic

 

[Dr. Charisma]

dat front end/grille

Why have they stuck with that look so long? Gotta be going on a decade now.

Looked so much better when it was a split thing.

 

[saxman]

no market adjustment on the Volvo or Audi

Ya, and during normal markets you can get them for 10% off msrp before incentives(which are also a lot higher usually). No point in paying near msrp with shitty incentives now.

 

[black jesus]

Funny that you are worried about Kia reliability but no mention of both Volvo nor Audi which are comically bad, unreliable cars.

the question mark was because I have no idea what the reliability is like on a telluride.

I wouldn't call the XC90 or the q7 a "comically bad" car

I had a 15 optima and tortured the fuck out of it every time I was behind the wheel, hoping it would die so I could justify buying something new. It never did.
Kia is more reliable than Audi or Volvo. But it doesn’t have the brand prestige of Audi or Volvo, and that means something to most buyers.

The only people I see driving them are old people. They probably don’t care.

brand prestige is pretty low on my list, and the telluride interior was pretty impressive

I can address that. We have owned both Audis and Volvo’s. We have NEVER had any mechanical or electrical issues on either of the cars.

The “comically bad, unreliable” bit is so outdated.

good luck finding a telluride is stock anywhere to get. its a very sought after SUV.

i'd rank it first, q7 second and volvo 3rd if i were shopping for one from your list - and I drive an Audi S6 now. The Telluride is an amazing automobile with fantastic cutting edge tech.
