@qbrozen – Unfortunately, yes I like the 2018 GMC Terrain better. My parents have a 2014 GMC Terrain and it’s ok. The interior is not as nice as my Edge, but the new Terrain looks to be a step above the old one.
@carnaught – The Macan is also beautiful, but probably way out of my budget.
This list is also subject to change once I get out to drive them.

I wasn't a fan of the Equinox or Terrain with the 2.4L 4 cylinder. Extremely odd transmission mapping that hangs on to gears for too long, and it felt painfully slow.

We had one in our 2008 VUE - I'd agree with that opinion.

The Macan is a handsome crossover SUV. I like the growl from the engine, and the interior has great ergonomics and quality feeling switchgear. It has a very planted feel when driving it. I actually like the body-colored side panels better than the black ones, extra cost, of course. Although Mrs. Carnaught graciously gave me the official okie dokie to proceed with the purchase, I just couldn’t justify the price delta compared to the GLC.
I might need to wait longer for these to come down in price. sigh.

@gbrozen, you are correct to assume that I’m not talking about a base Macan in my price comparison. What I am refering to is the price difference of similarly equipped Macans and GLCs, and specifically an OTD price offered by each dealer.

Anyway, I think they ended up with a pretty good deal on a fairly well loaded 2017 Civic EX, with HondaSense and Lane Watch, and in the colors they wanted, for just about $22,750 out the door. I think that's pretty good for CA. Given that they keep a car forever, the depreciation hit on a 2017 wasn't really a factor for them. I would expect a similar 2018 Civic (same basic car as 2017 model) would have cost a few thousand more anyway.
Good MPG too. trip home from restaurant, all local streets with plenty of stop signs and traffic lights, TC said almost 31. So not going to complain about that.
Programmed my XM stations. And discovered that it has 40 presets available (the Sonata only had 18 I think, but had separate ones for FM and AM which I never listen to). I don't think there are even 40 stations total I have any interest in.

I also talked to several of our techs today and they told me that they have only seen the situation described in a few isolated cases- and that none of them were remotely close to catching fire.

If you are looking at a car at Mershon's, proceed with caution. Interesting folks.

@gbrozen, I was pricing loaded base Macans which were in stock.

I took the car car to get new tires and it had no nut or cotter pin on the stud connecting the pitman arm. I could have totally lost all steering control.
I wasnt expecting a project car but that’s what I got.
I think its because the the oldest guy there is Bob the manager. Everyone else is in their 20’s or early 30’s - including the mechanics. Not good.
And I think I would want to go with a 2017, figuring it’s one model year to work some bugs out.
Seems to be priced well too.
This Vroom concept is interesting. Sort of a carmax without a physical shop. They focus on late model, low mileage vehicles. Shipping is included into the price, as is “return” shipping if you don’t like it for any reason, within 7 days and 250 miles.

Also, went to a consignment store to meet a girl for our first date. Took the Mustang. While waiting for her to arrive, the "lady" who parked next to me slammed the rear passenger door of her Durango into the Mustang's front fender. I blew the horn and yelled at her, and she acted like she hadn't done anything. People just can't deal with being called out on their bad behavior. (I would have given her a real Chicago Hello had I not been waiting for a lady friend to arrive.) Will have to practice my touch up paint skills thanks to that idiot.
