Are the lots even open, we have shelter in place, only service departments are open because :dillerman: gotta eat
Palm Springs has shut down all non-essential businesses and installed shelter in place. The rest of the Desert Cities are NFG, except for closing city offices and asking people to follow the 10 person rule. So yes. But I'm not really going out and about for a while, at least until PEOPLE HAVE TOILET PAPER MAX. The 0/84 ain't going away anytime soon.
When are you coming in for a test drive ? :dillerman:

For once the :dillerman: ain’t laying when they are saying that they are losing money on this :dill:

I've got a bidet and a Benelli with 4 boxes of shells. Come at me.

Have you seen the other exterior photos? The steering wheel is the least concerning bit :lolol:
Are you new here? This is DFD where we dwell on the insignificant details.
:wrong:

Nothing about your point is insignificant, that steering wheel is heinous.

This is fucking awful. The 2019/2020 was no real looker either. I had hopes it would be good because the Sonata is a banger.

Sadly they're keeping the NA 2.0 147 HP wonder as the base motor. Supposedly going to be an "N-line" model later. There will be a hybrid available with a 6 speed dual clutch but only 139 HP :flaccid:

Interior is good though. I like these 4 parallel spoke wheels they're using now.

Ughh, that wall by the passenger side would irritate me the most. Not a very thoughtful interior design, especially when :tits: wants to change the AC and whatnot. Also less leg space, which sucks on roadtrips

We will call out an ugly car when we see one. We all beat it to the Camaro and then they released the facelift one and everyone shunned it.

:dat:

Slanty H makes good vehicles.

I have said multiple times recently the two Elantras I rented were nice vehicles. I even chose the second one over compelling options like an Altima or Toyota RAV4.

But this new thing is ugly.

but are they putting 10k on the hood? If so I would do it.

10K+ 0% is the way to go, but if they are selling at sticker plus INFINIPAYMENT FUCK that.
Certain circumstances have recently increased my available time to wander around car lots I may go check it out.
Owner of my company, an elder dude but a gent in every sense of the word, and who owns a new 535 x-drive, just bought a G80 and loves it. It looks pretty damn :notbad: inside.

After seeing how unreliable the new Silverados are I would say stay the fuck away from the 2021 model.

I think you'd like the HEEP HEMI more tbh

HEEP HEMI isn't a thang??

If I wanted an SUV or a :truk: right now, it would be :jeep: / Gladiator or maybe wait for the BroncBro.

Considering she wouldn’t be caught dead in a non lux personal vehicle and a 60k brown special ordered bmw was the move. The Jeep will be quite welcomed over the Guadalupe mobile

Because this is a woman who pulls pretty major $$ and is willing to drive around in a 17 year old truck ZFG, she can choose her next bus.
