Um, no.  I’d believe a large part of the buying decision for those that spend $100k on a sedan (pick your threshold) is ownership prestige.   This may hit performance & exclusivity.   But not prestige.   Hyundai Genesis anyone?

Back in 2011 when my wife bought her Genesis it was car of the year by a few magazines. It was her second Hyundai after an 06 Elantra. We still have the Elantra. My wife drove it for 5 years, my daughter for 7 now it’s going to her son. It shows like a 2 year old car. The Genesis only flaw has been the blue tooth that was handled under warranty when it was 5 years old. That seven year old car shows like a one year old car, no wear on the leather. That being said their getting pricey. I was getting ready to buy our 5th Hyundai, a sonata. Bought a Camry. Same with the Genesis, I can buy a Lexus for the price of a Genesis. Not buying either.

The Korean twins have used Toyota’s playbook and I don’t dispute quality.  It’s the Lexus = Hyundai price tag that boggles the marketing mind.  No offense meant.  Sorry.

Non taken, just relaying personal experience. If it wasn’t for the warranty I wouldn’t have ever tried them.

Let’s see if I can spell “Cinquecinto.”   Probably not but spellcheck had no idea where I was headed. Ha.

so long

 

Love that too

      3.59 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. 20 cents higher than most around here. Very unusual. Saturday they were 3.49.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
