What vehicle do you drive?

The V6 Grand Cherokee has 300hp and is plenty luxurious. It may not be as fast as you'd like, but it'll do the trick. Or, it comes with the 5.7 as well. Maybe the Durango R/T? Same 5.7 but with even more room. I've seen used ones under 40k with less than 20k miles. There's the Toyota 4 Runner if you want super reliable. But, won't be fast and it's a bit dated (even a brand new one). I would personally love a 6.4L Grand Cherokee myself, but the cost just isn't justified with the questionable quality and some of the materials (it's got awesome tech, but still some carry-over cheap plastics). Oh, have you thought about the Ford range? the V6 eco-boost has great power for the size and decent mileage too.

Yeah, I really love Grand Cherokees, but my sister has had nothing but problems with her '16 Cherokee. I also know somebody with a '16 Renegade that has had nothing but problems as well.

The R/T Durango is something I've had an eye on, but 3rd row seating just isn't necessary. Plus, size of the vehicle is a consideration with available garage space.

I still have my cla250 from 2014, it's been awesome and while MB service is expensive they have been more than generous on warranty work. It's paid off now but I'm gonna keep it a few more months.

My wife just got rid of her 2013 mini cooper countryman which I absolutely hated for an Audi A4. It's really nice but I prefer the c class, it drives super smooth though.

I'll probably pick up the new 3 series when it's released, love the look of everything about that car.

I'm considering the 2019 Acura RDX. What color does everyone like:

Some non renders:

Well, since 80% of cars on the road are white, gray, or black, I would vote for ANY actual color. But, blue is my favorite.

Blue as well, drove past a parking lot the other day and 95% of the vehicles in the parking lot were white.

White seems to pop only on certain vehicles for me, like the GTi.

Get the volvo XC60 color...

Hmm everyone likes that blue. It's kinda bright for me but I'm definitely considering it!

XC60 is expensive. Depends how the numbers come back. If the RDX isn't significantly less than the XC60 I'll expand out to that and the X3.

Yup the XC60s are expensive comparatively and sadly in my area used Volvos are rare as its not as high volume as everyone else and used are harder to find.

Also it's hard for me to get info on new haggle rates... on a Nissan or whatever a few days scouring forums and you can get a damn good lock on how much below MSRP and invoice you should be able to get.

If you are wanting new, look at the Volvo overseas delivery thing, the price is MSRP less than sticker and you get a "free" trip to migrantville

Leased the 2019 Acura RDX. ASpec, White Diamond Pearl

chose the White Diamond Pearl and I'm very happy with my choice!

Now that I have it this was the clear choice for me. The wheels are perfect and look amazing on the car, it really makes the look. The blacked out trim looks the best against the White body. Red would be my runner up choice, but I am coming from a Red/Black car and wanted a change. My wife loves the white, but not a fan of the wheels

Inside is fantastic. HUGE Pano roof, great display and I like the touchpad interface. The Button shifter was a bit weird, but it's intuitive and I'm getting used to it quickly.

It's early but this is the best car I've ever personally owned. In terms of all around quality, style, luxury touches and driving. SH-AWD feels like you're pinned to the road on curves. It's quick enough, although I'd love a Type R. All the current tech like Acura Link, Android Auto, and a suite of safety features.

I typically look for the value for the dollar buy. So previously that was a loaded Kia Optima SX. It was quick, lots of tech and features, and looked cool. This go around the RDX struck me as a good value. Base trim would have been even more value but I just loved the ASpec look.

I was considering the Advance for something a bit quieter and with the dampers, HUD and a few other things but... at the end the A-Spec was absolutely the way to go for me. I don't miss any of that. My Kia was not overly quiet or smooth, so this is a big step up. Paying another 4-5k for the Advance with the nice wheels would be over doing it.

I almost went for the XC40 or XC60. 40 was a bit small, and pricey for the size. Not to mention significantly slower than I'd like. It looks FANTASTIC though. I love the Volvo looks.
XC60 was almost too nice. Its gorgeous. I would have to get a T6 though and that is just more than I wanted to spend. I'm also not a huge fan of the Vovlo giant touch screen and steering wheel.

ANYWAY.... pics:

Very cool, congrats. I started looking at the MDX for the wife. Toyota/Lexus are really ugly lately and the German options have lost their appeal for the most part; they all look so boring and uninspired. So, might go MDX or F-Pace S. Both come in a great blue.
