Heated steering wheel, can't be beat. I have one in my current as well as my previous Jeep. It would be hard to talk me into a vehicle that doesn't have one......

That was his prototype.

Nice score Patty, the X5 has always been considered the "driver's choice" among the midsize Euro SUVs. Unfortunately their low tow rating ruled them out for us in the past but I see they've caught up from 2019-on. I might have to put them back on the list for next time. I'll approach from the side or rear, of course...

When I was visiting my sister in Dallas, I drove her Genesis G90 to San Antonio and back to Dallas. I never considered a sedan until I drove Genesis. I learned to drive a sedan and driving her car awakened a longing for sedan, especially Genesis G90. I could never figure out the navigation with constant clicks on the main dial but the ride was smooth. I didn't realize how good driving V8 felt. I think I am going to seriously consider Genesis G90, pre-owned as price has shot up significantly. My only concern is how reliable this model is in long run.

Cyber attacks screw up the country for vehicle sales and purchasing of used vehicles.

I was told about ^this Friday night when I bought the X5. I'm trying to sell my Pilot and I got a decent offer for it but they can't cut me a check because the systems are down. What a fiasco.

This will happen more and more if these software companies and users don’t harden their defenses. Soon or later it will happen to our power grid….it is just a matter of time.

Honda particularly got hit hard. On a mechanic show I listen to on the weekend the host mentioned that he couldn’t get parts from Honda and dealers were having all kinds of issues due
to getting hacked.

It's a decent offer but I'll have to come again.
