    Looks-wise, I prefer the Mazda.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        If you're looking at Mazda, I would look at the CX-9.

          I really like the Mazda 6. Sharp looking cars with minimal issues.

            Is he old enough to drive that? Seems like you need to at least be 50 to own that, similar to the Murano or 350.

                  Hey, are you sure it's ironic?

                  I'm just saying that these crossover vehicles are grandpa cars. Al the older people in my neighborhood seem to drive them, especially the Murano.

                      FTR, I think the QX80 is the ugliest SUV on the market. But if HFN loves it, I am happy for him.
                      Thanks! I'm not conscious about what other people think, but what I think. A person only gets to own so many cars in their life, it seems agonizing to me to buy the same one that I've already had. So many options to choose, like ordering the same item at a restaurant every time. I'm a sample platter kind of guy! My clothing alone should show I don't care what others think about me.

Because of LDC being sick I haven't driven as much this summer as I do in a typical year, so I'm going to start looking in the fall for what I want to go with next. I have loved it and am considering getting the same thing, but I always kind of roll my eyes when someone buys a new car and gets the exact same make and model as they just had. Depending on what I'm thinking I'll probably do something before I hit 90k.
                          While on vacation last week I drove a 2016 Escalade. Mrs V and I really liked it. It has a lot more bells and whistles than her 13 Denali. If I was looking at a new SUV it would certainly be one of my top choices.

                            Definitely cooler than either the Murano () or the rx350 (moon rover). I'm not sure about the age comment. Would you turn down an A8 just because most people who drive them are over 50?
