    Spotted a Charger Daytona (EV) in the wild yesterday. Looks pretty good - a bit smoother shapes than the current Charger/Challenger duo.

    There is no "current" duo.. 2023 is the last year for the gas models

    Spent some time at the MB dealer today as the wagon needed annual service + seasonal tire change along with new tires and some other maintenance. They had a bigger assortment than in the past - notables were a G63 at 225K, a weirdly hard loaded GLE 450 with 30K in options - 99K, I think GLE and GLC coupe AMG, GLS AMG, CLA AMG, E450 All Terrain, CLE 450 (MB 4 series) and this for @roadburner - 2025 C63 fairly loaded, 104K, I know he's thrilled with that 4 cyl:

    Yes, I'm a bit concerned about a 2 liter motor that cranks out over 400 hp, but the complaints I've heard about the C43 concern the transmission; one reviewer wrote that the car drives like the engine and transmission have not been formally introduced. The C63 with an I4 doesn't interest me.

    Someone at work showed up in a new Lexus TX, apparently the grand Grand Highlander.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,415
    Not new but interesting - drove by the local Tesla center the other day, and they had what must have been at least a couple dozen Cybertrucks languishing in the back. I suspect this is all of them in the inland PNW - I haven't seen one on the road in well over a month, and this is not a major metro so only so many are going to be around. What a gongshow.

    In Atlanta for the weekend a have seen a number of these Kia electric full size SUVS. I'm not sure what they are even called. I never see them at home on long Island. Those are some ugly wheels

    Also, the newest Honda CR-V appears a lot longer than, previously. I guess it could be fascia changes that give it that appearance?

    Passed a Maybach today in my less-than-tony Dallas suburb this afternoon. Gray on top, blue on bottom. Not sure how old it was or the model. I just got a short look as it passed me. Never seen it in town before. I don’t think I could bring myself to drive a greater than $200K car.

    Just saw a commercial for a new Maybach MB, black on top, light silver (?) on bottom. I'm sure it's great, but its looks aren't as 'special' as I'd want for that price.

  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,345
    for a gussied up S class, nope.

    now explain to my why this one, with the same 34 miles on it and a MY newer, is a cool quarter mill cheaper. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/17fb02bb-4a4f-497a-b266-d731f6f57b0f/

    I saw that same commercial last night and thought the same thing. I thought the paint job was ugly.

    I was a bit surprised that they only showed the Maybach logo for a second at the start and all later references were to Mercedes-Benz.

    Speaking of new cars, my neighbor across the street picked up a new ride. He had a 4Runner TRD Pro with over 175,000 miles on it (my guess), that he uses off road quite a bit (he tows a 4 wheel ATV behind it and goes camping with one of his daughters).

    Yesterday, a new Sierra AT4X was in his driveway. I'll need to saunter over to see which engine he chose.

    one of my neighbors got something new recently also. He had a newer style Colorado, and recently that got replaced with an Outback. Nice medium blue. Wilderness model so has the orange highlights all over the exterior. I like it.

    after having one (actually my second (I count the 2 Mavericks as 1) after a 1990 Nissan X Cab) it would be really hard to give up having a bed available. At least until I finish the endless clearing of brush and limbs. Took another load over to the drop off site this morning (2 of the big paper bags, my pop up pail (the size of a small drum) and a couple armfuls of sticks. Might take a while but every load helps! Need to go out tomorrow and get some bags of mulch too. Very nice not needing to put that inside a car. Especially wet bags of yard waste.

    Yes, EV9. They are abundant here in CO.

    As is almost every other type of EV or PHEV.

    I saw an Ioniq 5 on the highway today. I actually really like the design of those. Maybe I just always wanted a Lancia Delta Integrale.

    A consequence of not drug-testing the styling team; Nissan has a similar issue.

    Last few days saw two new design (facelift) mavericks. So they are getting out there. Pointed out one in the new green color I liked and my wife actually really liked it too. If I was to get a new one now it would be in green.

    My neighbor just replaced his explorer with a suburban. I assume that was related to just having their 3rd kid with the oldest not being more than 5 or so.

    Saw a VinFast (model VF8) today. I didn’t even know they were selling these in the US yet. Pretty sure they will have a difficult time competing, unless pricing is super aggressive.

    There have been many, many problems with the roll out of these, I've heard. Not really sure they're available any more in the US.

    I saw one in Queens yesterday. Crowded area and street parked. Definitely an area where you can't be sure you are getting a spot in front of your house always. I wonder what the plan is for charging.

    The front is very busy. Otherwise, pretty typical shape. Small wheels for a crossover

  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,345

    I bet most city residents don’t drive a lot of miles Might public transit commute. Short trips to stores. So no need to charge often. If so easy enough to just hit up a public charger every week or 2. And any time you go some place with free ones of course!

    Those look pretty nice. Well equipped for the price. Hopefully the company lasts to honor their 10/125k warranty!

    And get more dealers since going to Bradd’s area or Long Island is a bit far for me to go for service.

    Depends, but yes. When I lived in Queens, I put I think 11k on my car the first 2 years I owned because I could go days without using it, taking the subway to Manhattan. That's why you'll see these interesting outer borough cars that just never got used.

    However, some people will drive from one borough to another for work. The subway is good for getting to Manhattan and moving around within Manhattan, but not great for connecting Brooklyn and Queens.

    I've seen just a couple of new Muranos. Pretty meh

    The front is like an overgrown Kicks. With the lights embedded on bars, it looks like something a kid sketched out. The back is strong Infiniti QX60, or whatever the second biggest SUV is

    That is a real concern. They look nice. I like the metallic green. Numerous reviews say the driving dynamics, ride, handling needs refining.
