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

explorerx4 · April 18

About a month ago, a couple houses down the street they swapped out an RDX for a Lexus RX,
Today, I noticed their across the street neighbors have a new silver RX. Not sure what it replaced.
Also today, one of the neighbors in the other direction had a new dark blue Pilot in the driveway.
He was cleaning it. Said he just picked it up but it wasn't up to his standards, so he was going through the whole thing.

Watched this look at the new 2025 Camry today. Don’t ask me why but I’ve had a soft spot for the last couple of generations of the Camry. The V6 is gone for the new version but the Motormouth couple seemed to quite like it. I like the exterior design better than the outgoing model and the MPG of the hybrid is incredible. Prices don’t seem crazy either.

if you like sedans, that is a good one to get.

If I had a long commute it would be top of my list. I really liked the last rental I had and it wasn’t even loaded up.

Those are pretty cool.

My son said he got passed by a cyber truck on I90 by Albany. Speeding of course.

I saw one towing a boat yesterday on 95 in Maryland

I pulled in next to a Cadillac Lyriq in a parking lot today, and the driver was in the car with the window rolled down so I had a brief chat. She liked my ATS so I asked how she liked her new ride. She only has had it for a month but so far likes it very much. It is surprisingly large and this one, white over black inside, looked pretty snazzy even with the unusual rear treatment. I think it probably grows on you. It is at least unique.

Saw a white Honda Prologue, their new EV SUV. This is a big car…

Maybe it was the surroundings, but it didn't seem all that large at the Denver Auto Show...

tifighter · April 28

Yeah interesting. The dimensions are similar to the Passport. This was out on the road, so maybe the nearby cars made it seem bigger. Anyhow, seems like an odd choice. But I’m sure that there’s many people that will buy it because they think it’s a Honda, unaware of the GM underneath.

stickguy · April 29

I wonder if I saw one yesterday? I had a quick look at a Honda SUV and I thought it was a pilot but it just looked bigger than I expected, and the shape was not quite right?

kyfdx · April 29

A lot of the EVs have longer wheelbases, compared to gas models (EV9 vs. Telluride). I think that makes them look bigger, when maybe the overall length isn't any different.

explorerx4 · April 30

Saw a Raptor R. I could tell because of thr big 'R' decal on it.

stickguy · May 4

Another new Santa Fe. This one in white. It was hideous. My wife thought so too.

A couple of new style accords. Have to look at the taillights to really tell.

And a true rarity, a dodge hornet! I think my first in the wild.

explorerx4 · May 4

I Hyundai went too far with the 'H' theme.

ab348 · May 4

What gets me at the moment about Hyundai brand imaging is the new logo they’re using on steering wheel hubs and the like. A decorative strip with 4 dots on it. Morse code for the letter “H”. Talk about obscure…

laurasdada · May 4

I'm beginning to see Hornets here and there, I think Dodge is discounting 'em a bit.

fintail · May 8

Saw a new unplated Kia EV9 in a driveway a couple blocks from my house. It's like a GV80 crossed with an Ioniq 5, with flamboyantly retro-futuristic wheels that look like hubcaps.

ab348 · May 9

The Kia wheel situation sounds better than the Mad Genius' Cybertruck solution with hubcaps that puncture the tires.

fintail · May 9

The Cybertruck is almost like a joke now, I am not sure it received any testing before it hit the road. You really have to be in the cult to want one.

A few new Buick CUVs. Envision? Looked almost Porsche like

There's a fun video out there about the safety stop auto close feature frunk slicing simulated (by vegetables) fingers much easier than other brands - I can't find the link. Sub 10-micron technology I suppose.

Saw a RR Cullinan and a Bentley Bentayga in the space of 20 minutes in toney Highland Park/North Dallas area on my way to my oncologist Wednesday. La-de-da. 🙄

No sir, further south. A bit northeast of Love Field on Inwood Rd.

Gotcha.

Took the dog for a walk and the grandkids for ice cream.
While we were waiting for the kids to finish, saw a Cybertruck.
At least the body panels seemed to match.

explorerx4 · May 15

Not sure if there is any significance to the blue accents.

stickguy · May 15

Twice this week near my house another maverick lariat in the same blue as mine. I assume it was the same one.

kyfdx · May 15

In Los Angeles, a Google Waymo Jaguar.

stickguy · May 16

neighbor up the road just got a new style Tacoma to replace his prior generation. Even still has the rubber cow catcher on the front. That thing is hideous.

explorerx4 · May 23

I've seen a couple of the new 24 Nautilus. One lives up the street.

I thought you had one….or is it the Corsair?

explorerx4 · May 26

@tjc78,
We have a 22 Corsair. The 24 Nautilus are just showing up, now built in China.

stickguy · May 26

passed a bright yellow Lambo Urus Ute today. not very attractive, but looks like every other luxury cross-over.

fintail · May 26

Saw my (I think) first Hornet today

stickguy · May 26

I saw one of those a week or 2 back. must not be selling at all well.

Michaell · May 30

Out running errands today and spotted both a Cullinan and a Bentayga.

tifighter · May 31

I saw the new GX the other day in a boring grey color. They’re going to sell a bajillion of these.

ab348 · June 1

What's a GX?

texases · June 1

Lexus SUV

fintail · June 1

My boss wants a hybrid new GX - it'll be fun to see the ADM these get in a flamboyantly outdoorsy area like the PNW.

tifighter · June 1

I heard the local dealer say they have a waiting list of over 100. And this is Fife we are talking about, not Bellevue.
