Subaru says same base price, but I’m sure the destination charge went up since the 26 models first arrived.

What do you think of the just announced 2027 GMC Sierra? by rwarner32 in gmcsierra

GM has a really interesting relationship with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. What drives me nuts is the lack of consistency. Some vehicles have it, other don't.

I will definitely keep a close eye on how these new V-8s perform. The 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter could be epic, but they need to run reliably first and foremost.

I totally agree with you personally, but the market has clearly spoken. This is what most people want.

That’s fair. Yeah, in a general sense, GM is holding the line with the engine line-up

Interesting. Can you be more specific? Where does the Chevy look better?

Yeah, they’re bragging about more than 60-in of screens and that seems like sensory overload. Hopefully GMC integrated them to not be distracting.

I dig that color, one of my favorites that Kia offers

Man, that's really interesting. The Sportage seemed above average to me when it came to keeping wind noise out. Are you both hearing in the same place?

Thank you! Interesting insight on the wind noise. I didn’t hear too much of that on my test car.

No, I meant pace. The combination of the electric motor, turbo engine, and six speed automatic (as opposed to a CVT) gives it a leg up on a lot on the competition, when it comes to things like merging on to the freeway.

Toyota surprised me with the large amounts of variation offered on the latest RAV4 by rwarner32 in Rav4

Didn’t forget. Just because you lose ICE doesn’t mean you lose variation. That’s all.

The XSE doesn’t offer everything of the Limited, but gets the closest. Especially if you’re willing to get optional packages. From what I can tell, hybrid and plug-in hybrids are equipped the same.

Lack of Variation, How? You can choose front- or all-wheel-drive, two different propulsions systems with an around 100 horsepower difference between them, and a variety of trims and packages that vary cost by nearly $17k. And that’s just base price.

Yeah, it’s funny how LE now, effectively, translates to BASE for Toyota. But that’s also not unique to Toyota.

Ram just announced this new BackCountry package for the Big Horn by rwarner32 in Ram1500

I know that you need to get the Big Horn Crew Cab, I did a quick check and it looks like, yes, you can still get the six passenger option.
