Kia Telluride spotting.

So APM's office now has one of these in the parking lot. Actually not too bad in person. Looks better live than in the ads. Clearly a poor man's Range Rover, but probably a lot more reliable than a Range Rover too.
What say ye Lungites?
This one even looks Clemsony:

cheap. Possibly would have bought one if it weren't for that Kia depreciation. Was hard to justify taking the hit on a new one, and they were selling like hotcakes at the time we were looking, so no incentives.

out of curiosity, any reason you elected to go w/ the CX-5 over that, considering the others you were looking at were larger SUVs?

CX-5 was a good bit cheaper. We use my truck to travel anyway, so it is/will be mainly an 'around town' car.

Good choice.

When you get around to car-seating here in the near future, you'll appreciate the extra room over the CX-5. Mine has been a champ, and the last few weeks of seeing every mountain back road in SC/NC/TN/GA with a 6 speed manual has been ridiculous fun to drive. Mazda quality isn't Toyota, but it's very good good without Toyota prices.

drive it.
But for long term reliability (and resale value), I'm not spending money on them until they're up there with Honda/Acura, Toyota, etc.

at number 2 in their mid-size SUV ratings. They've got the Subaru Ascent at #1 and it's not really that close although both are rated 90 or higher, the Subaru is at 96 out of 100.

gay, you're probably not very confident about your ability to please a woman and at least one dude has probably made you put it in your mouth. I mean, you might not be gay, but you almost have to be questioning.

Have a forester here! Bought it over just about everything in its class. Was the last vehicles I tested and overall liked it more than anything else I drove. Btw, I almost got the small Mercedes and considered the Audi.
Trade in value and safety are very high.

Front wheel drive toy for people who don’t love cars! If FWD was the safest and best cars, the racing teams wouldn’t spend millions converting their race cars to rear wheel drive. Can you imagine a front wheel drive Camry in a NASCAR race? Death waiting to happen.

I may have posted this before. This guy is overly dramatic about this trail. It IS the hardest in Uwharrie but the section he did is about average with no major obstacles. Still a challenge tho in this. I’ve seen a new grand Cherokee and a Subaru up there too. If it’s raining you can forget it in a stock ride. This guy is also dumb for not taking a full size spare. Anyhooo: https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/car-technology/a27372481/kia-teluride-2020/
And here’s the gatekeeper of the other end. This is me last week. The next obstacle was worse (more technical) but I didn’t get any video but I did leave a lot of paint and a tail light up there. ?? https://photos.app.goo.gl/gjHYaxgxkKLni64w5

that what I'd imagined from commercials and online postings.
So I was just wondering what others had obeserved.
To me it is the SUV version of the "Chrysler 300 kinda looks like a Bentley".
