Nah this ain’t bad.
I find it to be hideous. But I mean :whocares: , it's a mom wagon.
It's a Temu Range Rover. I thought about these before the :fancy: Rav4 :dill: fell into place.

I guess I'm alone in this... the first of these Santa Fes I saw a year or two ago, I was legit offended. Few cars caused that reaction for me.

If they're used condom prices :doe: , I'd consider for a wife unit.

I don't think it's that bad but, a design like this can be polarizing. I get where you're coming from 100%.

What’s funny is I find most Hyundai/Kia cars here ugly. The two I think look good are the Ioniq 5 and 6, which most people think are heinous looking.

Actually those new Kia sedans (I forget the model) look pretty dope. They’ve had some good stuff. But some pretty uggo stuff too.

The only thing I don’t like about the new Hyundai Santa Claus is the DIABOLICAL repair bills from backing into something while parking. Or if you get BBG’d by a boomer only on your tailgate. The entire gate will need to be replaced.

A Telluride is also not really compatible to a 600 HP BMW rocket ship that can be totaled by getting the windows tinted. Not at all the same thing.
Bold. Yes, exactly. Its why i got one at one point.

Italics, also yes, they are in entirely different price classes as well.





BMW should make a minivan. :lol: MAKE SLIDING DOORS GREAT AGAIN
They do, in Europe sans the sliding doors like the R class. No there is no M version as well.

Carry over from the Supra convo from the other chat. I think I’m gonna buy a Supra boys. :plac: I want a manual, in black, honeycomb tan interior.

Not sure when I might do this, but I will probably keep the village bicycle as my NFG dad car for the future and the sups will be the fun weekend car. Or whenever I’m not toting the impending crotch fruit around.

This is all pending because I want to drive one first. I also would be selling my TJ wrangler :(

I was originally gonna sell the Beamer, but after a serious convo with the wife, she hated the idea of a kid riding in my jeep and obviously Supra is a no go.

No timeline right now, but goal is by end of year.

I’m lost… so you’re replacing the jeep with a Supra ? And keeping the bicycle as a family car ?

I approve, the Supra is a great car. I have only driven one with a MT6 and it was fantastic.
