Damn, those vinyl stripes and that front? No one is messing with that car on a track or in a straight-line...
I don't know who I had this conversation with, maybe @D.T. or @AustinIllini, but I could never get myself to like Maserati's. Other than the engine sound on the Quattroporte/Gran Turismo, there's nothing I really like to pay the price for one.
That looks like something Clarkson, Hammond or May would have done to their car in a cheap car challenge as a goof. The fact that someone actually did that for real, and thought it looked good, is astounding.

Hi Mr. D.T.,
I'm sorry. D.T. But I owe you an apology for my rude behavior about a week and half ago about the my watermarking situation on photo of my car. When I saw your post when you joked that someone had spraypainted my online persona on the wall behind my car. I just felt that you didn't agree with watermarking photos which I do understand and respect your point of view on this matter. Thus, which is the reason way I reposted a post non-watermark photo back up. I didn't mean to offend you or any else here on the car thread.
The reason why I have yet to post any additional photos of my car is because I usually just drive my new car on the weekends and I drive my old car to work during the week. When I drive the new car, it starts off partly cloudy and then the rain starts. It was about two months before I was able have the car detailed at the Carwash before I take the photos because it literally almost rained 95% of the time on the weekends that I've had this car. On one of these weekends there was some flooding in my area and on a different weekend there was some hail. After it rains, I go back home and Park the new car and I'm so sorry about this whole matter.

Sweet Lanos bro! I saw a Kia Soul With like 6 driving lights across the front lower bumper... Rally style I suppose.
Guys, I thought I'd never do this but I (sorta) went to the dark side. I just had my first successful interview with a follow up tomorrow at a Mercedes dealership for their accounting department. I've mentioned earlier in the thread that I was eyeing a F10 5er but I may be moving to a W205 C-Class or W213 E-Class.

Good luck, sir. I love Mercs. I wish I could afford one.Guys, I thought I'd never do this but I (sorta) went to the dark side.

Thank you. I like Mercs too but BMW has always been and will always be my love/passion. My family has had Mercs before and they were great cars but we/I eventually end up back to BMW.
So.. For a guy expecting twins
2016 Yukon Denali or Volvo XC-90?
That Denali is nice.. Bold exterior which I like a lot, cargo space is a big on my list
Then there's the feature rich XC... Don't know bout that Powertrain or reliability though. Of course it has a plusher interior which I favor over the Denali but who needs nice leather like that with two kids destroying it
Ultimately I don't want to end up like this guy:

Why would you want a Volvo?
They send all of their profits back to China. Or even worse... socialist Sweden
The Navigator or Explorer would be the best choice IMO.

Really... I don't thought Volvo stepped their game up... Think I'll take a peak at their forums
Edit- To be honest... Because it's different
As much as I want a Yukon... The new Explorer Sport or Platinum is at the top of my list.. A tune from livernois and some bolt one I'm over 400HP
On the boring side of things.. The updated Highlander with direct injection and 8speed transmission would do nicely and have enough cargo room for the things I do
3rd is Yukon because gas guzzler

Yeah, the 2017 Highlander should be interesting, but it is smaller than the Explorer and Yukon.
Just my 2c, but as a parent with twins about to turn 1, leather is a godsend for throwup or spills or anything of that nature. Cloth is not. It's so, so, so damn much easier to wipe up spilled formula or water from leather. And if the carpeting gets gunky, you can buy those Bissell spot cleaners and they do a fantastic job. I bought a hot water extractor years ago for my personal use so it paid itself off.
True, but this will serve the market that prefers a smaller 4WD SUV but also doesn't want to go with Honda. And wouldn't go with a smaller class like the RAV-4. The new RAV-4 interior looks quite nice for a Toyota. I'm either seeing things or I'm witnessing Toyota bringing in certain Lexus elements to their line, and I'm liking it.
I currently have a '13 RAV4... It's okay lol one big warranty claim and a few minor... All in all.. It's pretty robust for a CUV
My neighbors Explorer Sport is tuned...... It's quick. Years ago I knew someone with a 2nd Gen Explorer with a 347 and supercharger and was daily driven.....that was one very fast truck haha, would trap 120 in the 1/4
If your looking at new ones though, wait till they get Sync 3.
