will see what the numbers look like tomorrow. Could easily sink the whole idea, or at least defer it for a few months to see what happens to the pricing.

They also claim to have 24 Stelvios in stock.

Not likely to actually go all the way up there, but they happened to have the exact car, so if nothing else, a level set price wise!

Feels more like a cage match between the marketing/sales folks and the bean counters.

I suppose that knowing all the numbers ahead of time, and seeing the posts from others looking for similar cars, helps me cut through a lot of the nonsense.

I haven’t driven the ‘18 Accord. But the difference in drive between the ‘17 Accord and the ‘18 ASpec was quite different, in my estimation.
They said they felt cramped in the IS350 (another Car which I like quite a bit), but bemoan feeling less cramped in the TLX? Not quite sure what they’re saying there.
The rest? Yes, can get the revs up in the TLX and need to hit about 4K RPM before you go “OMG.....WOW!” I like that, though. Little turbo motors are quite likeable, as such, I like all of them. But, in fairness, they are sort of “Off then On” feeling. That’s not a bad thing, just different.
Handling, performance seats, stereo, leather, controls, feel....all better in the TLX than the Accord.
I don’t mine their review. I just had different priorities than they have. I wasn’t looking for a hard core sports car. It seems that’s what they wanted. There are a lot of those types of people over at Acurazine that feel the same way. I’m not one of them.
Congrats Walt! I love it!
Looks like THE BMW STORE, right?

Looking at about (target) $195/mo, on a Jetta SE, MSRP $23,400. That includes taking my car in, and about $290 on top (IOW I pay $1,000 total at inception, but they cover the last payment and disposition fee). Daughter is fine with it (it's really her car). Just a question about do it now, or just wait until later when her lease runs out)
I hate feeling rushed!

So, back to just looking for me! Elantra sport or GT sport still high on list. Just have to go drive one.

I still think it's funny that you drove three states over (NY, NJ, PA) to do this.
Do you know how long I'd have to drive to cover three states from my home state? Heck, in two directions (north and south), I'd run out of states first.
West takes me to CA; east puts me in Illinois or Kentucky.

SE is the way to go if you want a better sound system. I'd be careful about what else your giving up settling for a base model S (does it have push button start? ect?). SE also comes with the pano roof.
I love the SEL 18" Canyon wheels over the 17" SE wheels, but the SEL also adds Navigation and hence the typical $3,000 upcharge for a $100 dollar feature.

there was a stat that was amazing, and I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was something like that spot was withing 10 hours driving of 80% of the population of the US. Something crazy like that. I guess it covered everything in NE probably out to Chicago and a bunch of the south.
