One of them copied the Volvo SUV I think.

The price is obscene.

Car and Driver complained about the off road capability, of all things. Apparently the extra long wheelbase causes it to beach easily. They even ranked the Ridgeline higher.

Hyundai really has been doing well on their designs


The Sonata design from two generations ago was awesome. The one they have now is kind of meh.

This new one (2020) looks amazing.

I hope Ford offers a Ranger Raptor in the US when the next gen comes out.

I like the Sonata and the Cadillac CT5.

A used Trax looks like it would be a decent “college car” for northern climates.

Why is the new Ranger getting such bad reviews? Did Ford phone this in or are they trying to protect F-150 sales?

This gen has been around for a while in other markets outside of North America. I figure Ford just wanted to tap into the current truck craze.

The new 2021 Ford Bronco is the only thing to look forward to. Everything else is just bland generic looking crossovers.



I'm still mad about what Chevy did to the Blazer. Can you imagine if Chevy redid it like Ford is doing with the Bronco? So boring bringing out another small SUV. Trax, Equinox, and Traverse were all almost identical. Why bring out another one that looks the same?

Wishful thinking, man. If I had to guess, they'll have ecoboost 4-cylinder and ecoboost V-6.

Hyundais are very well put together.

I was involved in an accident where I was in a Hyundai Genesis that flipped three times.

Got out of the passenger seat with a scratch on my forehead and a small nick on my elbow.

Only one of three airbags around me deployed too.

Yeah, I am 52 and have driven on the road for a career all my life. I am now at a point where my next vehicle would need to be able to tow a little. A rear wheel drive V6 SUV would be nice.

Not a fan of US made SUVs and Nissan killed its Pathfinder as did Honda with their Pilot. Both are now front wheel drive minivan looking things.

My only option I can think of is the Toyota 4 Runner and I dont see that changing.

Everyone should be. The Blazer had a chance to become cool and part of the off-road focused lineup with the ZR2, ZR2 Bison and the Silverado Trail Boss, but they went away from it's roots and pretty much killed it.

They would have been better off starting a new line of sporty crossovers under the Camero brand instead of using the Blazer moniker.

Ford will not do this to the Bronco and will be rewarded for it.
