I think Traverse's look really good...... they always catch my eye.....
Best of luck with it, D.C.

IMO, if you have to get tags from your state, it counts.
Cloth in general has come a really long way since the 1980s and 1990s velour. I generally prefer it.Detroit wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 1:38 pmGM cloth is actually quite nice...back in the day I saw some thoroughly abused engineering vehicles with cloth interiors that looked great. GM interior material quality isn't the best, but they've REALLY nailed down NVH and quiet/solid feeling vehicles...especially in that C1 platform. The Traverse is also one of the largest in its class, which means excellent storage space even with the 3rd row up as you noted, enabled in large part by the FWD architecture. Sure, towing might be a bit down compared to something RWD, but the space utilization is improved greatly and where you live, AWD is . It's really a great option, and there's a reason GM sells so many of them.Devilchrono wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 1:22 pm
The cloth interior is nice, it was surprisingly quiet for how cavernous it is inside and even with the 3rd row up, it still has good cargo room. For us, it’ll be a great family hauler for the foreseeable future. Next is a bigger truck, hopefully, in the next couple of years.

Bumped into a guy on a Honda Super Cub that was hurting some feelings earlier this week, we had a good chuckle over it.

I just assume... he would have broken or better if only paying a hunnit a month. Seems like low depreciation to me for a high end motorbike.

Yeah, front plate unfortunately. I asked them to install it since the car is loud visually and I don't need the to have an easy reason to pull me over.
