I spotted a NEW (insert make/model) today!

stickguy

New design pilot. Not bad looking. A lot more different from the prior one than I expected. Gave me a new Jeep wagoner vibe

Yeah, I've seen a few in the wild, as well. Handsome vehicle. Hoping that the Passport gets refreshed with a lot of the same design cues.

stickguy

it should considering it is basically just a Pilot with a slice out of the middle.

Saw a Lucid Air today, unsure of trim - first I have seen in Spokane I think. Bigger than they look in pics.

I’ve seen a couple here in Denver. Very large.

Not very popular, from what I’ve read.

Saw a new Sequoia - also big, really big, thought it was some kind of new Landcruiser from a distance.

stickguy

there is a new style Tundra near me on my usual walking route so I see it almost every day. And I still think it is a Silverado 2500 when I see it, it is that massive and overly "macho' styled.

They’ve been parking them at superchargers and offering test drives. Without the blank Saudi checkbook, I don’t think they’re long for this world. And I actually kind of like the look of them…

They are absolutely striking cars, for sure. Just a tad on the expensive side, when what we need are more Bolt/Leaf sized and priced EVs. Very curious as to how the EV Blazer and Equinox will be viewed by the buying public...

I saw a photo of the new 2024 Tacoma and it will adopt a very similar styling theme.

In other news, Ford has announced an "all-new" 2024 Ranger:

They now will offer a Raptor version along with a host of new geegaws and tech.

Saw a new Wagoneer (or Grand Wagoneer?) on Monday. Had the fake wood decals on the side. Shewww.. that is a choice.

The new Tundra is smaller than the previous version.
I drive by one quite often and to me it looks smaller than the other full size trucks.

I know what's not smaller (than almost anything else on the road): I was at my dealer today and drove past the back end of a new Suburban RST which loomed above my position behind the wheel of the ATS. If it had backed into me I think the rear bumper would have got me at the top of the side window. The thing is just massive.

kyfdx

At Starbucks, a new Aston Martin GT (I think that's a Vantage?)

Stunningly over the top. Wow!

For the first time I saw a new Integra in the wild. Pearl white A-Spec. It looks very nice. I've also seen about a dozen new Accords out and about. I guess they are selling ok.

Sandman6472

Picked up a bunch of new Honda Accords from the dealer a few weeks back. Drove every nice and had all the creature comforts folks who buy these desire. A bit too big for my daily driving but if one needs a sedan, this is sure hard to beat. About equal to the Toyota Camry in every way.

fintail

Saw a Genesis CUV with the Porsche 928 rear quarter, surprising as I think the nearest dealer is 5 hours away.

GV70.

fintail

A few new cars today - another (different color) GV70. No plate frame, makes me think possible rental, wasn't able see barcodes. Also a new style Prius and new style Sequoia.

It seems every GV70 I see is white. Or, maybe those are just the ones I notice?

I think the first one I saw was grey, and the second one kind of a dark red/burgundy.

I kind of like them, for the 928 link.

Beautiful Red 2007 Audi RS4 with a non total black interior (gray) less than 80K miles is tempting me. Not new, but certainly a rare sighting.

stickguy

Should be a paragon of reliability.

kyfdx

On I-75 in Ohio, today..

Durango 392
In a metallic green that was... a lot.

Bronco Sport Heritage LE Edition
In a two-tone, baby blue and white.

stickguy

another Maverick Lariat hybrid up the road from me (in the new build house section). Cyber orange. rare to see another of that spec, but this one was actually a work truck, with decals on it (from a paving company of some sort that was working at a new house). Probably the bosses truck (they had other big dump trucks and heavy duty stuff there too).

usually would expect that to be an AWD Ecoboost in a lower trim level, but if it is someone that drives around a lot doing estimates and checking on work sites, probably saves a ton on gas!

fintail

Saw a new Aston Martin CUV thing in traffic today - had a door decal about being in some kind of tour or rally. Older guy driving it, who obviously wasn't from here by his confusion about which lanes to be in.

kyfdx

Saw my first GR Corolla, last night.

sda

I’ve seen multiple new Accords in the wild. When I was having mom’s CR-V serviced at the dealer last Saturday the dealer only had a few LXs, about a dozen EXs, one Sport Hybrid and no upper trim levels. They were all had the dreaded addendum marking the price up by $4k.

texases

I got a good laugh - I'm curious about the new Corolla Cross Hybrid, just now appearing on dealers' lots. Local dealer, famous for markups ($10k on a plain Corolla Cross) has a Hybrid 'in transit', marked up from $31k to, wait for it, $76k!!!

WOW!

kyfdx

They only have to sell one of them..

stickguy

that number means they want people in looking but not buying.

fintail

Percentage-wise, that's worse than the crazy ADMs on G-Wagens.

I just checked my nearest Toyota dealer, no hybrids, but normal Cross are being advertised at MSRP.

laurasdada

Saw my first Alfa Tonale commercial; that's something...

stickguy

just get the Dodge Hornet, and at least you will have local dealers for the frequent service visits!

I’m supposed to hate it… but in that color…..

Is the wing an option?

There was no one in the brewery parking lot to answer that question.

fintail

Nice color, spoiler has to be some kind of ironic joke.

Michaell

I've seen a TRD up close and personal; the wing truly looks like something cribbed from a F&F car.

That's not a color offered by Toyota, so I'll guess that's a wrap. Toyota site only shows black, white with black roof, or "Underground" (flat grey) with black roof.

Wing is not an option.

MadTree Brewing on Madison in Oakley.

Gears and Beers, today. 10-2

That was my Father's Day gift... and, a chance to show off my new car.

Well, it does have Indiana plates, so..

Sandman6472

Also like the color but hey, I like most blue's accept the light blue on the Toyota Rav4...think it's just awful! I do like the dark blue shown on the pictures I've seen of the new 2024 Hyundai Kona. A bit of a smokey blue but I'm definitely drawn to it and think I might like it over a pearl white color. But like anything else, I need to see it in person to really tell if I'd go for it. No way would I get a color I won't like in a few years as I tend to keep my rides longer than many.

tjc78

Coincidentally there was a TRD Camry across from my house tonight. Same wing. Car was black.

Just went to snag a pic and it was gone

Every one I’ve seen online has it so I’d say it’s standard.

I looked it up on the toyota website. No way to delete it, sadly.
