Wasn’t an option. I guess the dealer had to do the checkout and make sure the port options were installed correctly.

Makes sense. But what was the finance guy doing to make it a hassle?

Land Cruisier is the gas guzzler in that list 13/18 is terrible.. on vacation this summer my Suburban was getting nearly 24mpg.. Not too shabby for a 7000lb vehicle, far superior to the LC
Nothing wrong with a Suburban, if you’re happy with it, good on ya.

There’s reasons Land Cruisers are more expensive.

I’ve had both. I prefer the Toyota.

Oh, just half the stuff he was offering, like protective coatings on seats or under chassis sprays would have delayed delivery and we were already almost a month past the original due date. The port our vehicle went to flooded, and then there was some time where we had no idea of the condition of our vehicle. Then, you’re going to through a list of options where they’d have to keep the vehicle longer...we were already using a loaner since they didn’t have our vehicle. IDK, it was just bizarre and not really in the flow of the transaction. It was a couple of hours to process us out and that seemed outrageous. We’re paying in full right damn now, just give us the vehicle we ordered and paid the down payment on...that’s sitting right there.

nah, i dont think people want to spend 50k on a car. Im sure electric/hybrids are more appealing to the younger generation. Old people and their guzzlers are dying out. Few people actually want truck nuts and big baw vechiles

Honestly, if you need a commuter car, it's hard not to go Camry, Accord/Civic or Jetta.

frick domestic commuter cars.



It boggles my mind how someone would purchase a Chevy Cruze or Mailbu over a comparable Honda or Toyota.

They are seeing electric cars pricing come down and electric cars taking over the commuter markets.

Blows my mind how OT trash keep defending these union infested automakers. News flash: tundras and Titans are built in the US-of-A and are NON UNION

So you'd rather buy a union built, overpriced truck made from cardboard and pixie sticks, just because the front grill looks different? Got it.

Lordstown closing is a huge black eye - it's a big plant right off i80. That's where they had been assembling the Cruze.

The sheer fact that a middle of the road package truck from eithe rof them is 50+ is insanity.
