Rumorpile: BMW X4 Renderings

For the smaller crossovers, I've found the Chevy Equinox quite pleasant to drive.  Comfortable seats, smooth ride, even w/ the 1.5 turbo 4, decent power for freeway driving.  I've driven my sister's '23 LT quite a bit around town and on short road trips the last few years.  Good ergonomics and layout, Car Play and Android Auto work fine.  More back seat room than my Grand Cherokee.  Easy to get in and out of.   I haven't looked at the new generation model that came out of '25, though.   My sister looked at the 25 when had her 23 in for service, thought the new one was ugly.   As for myself, if I were shopping for a new car, don't know what I would get.  My Jeep and Cadillac are both in excellent condition and paid for..and working from home, no real need for a new vehicle.   I don't think I'd get another Grand Cherokee given Stellantis' quality problems in recent years and that the '26 GC comes with a 4 cyl standard.   

Since I  haven't yet decided which side of the pond and if I wanted to throw out a little bit more money and it didn't have to be a car, I could choose a GMC Acadia.  Of the vehicles which were not sedans that I've rented, this one might be the most pleasing in terms of looks, comfort, and ride. I am almost sure I've reviewed it in the knot too distant past.  It has a slightly bigger engine ... since the number 1.5, as in liters, gives me heartburn.  

If I've deleted some from the list, it's because they're not in my price point. No thank you to expensive German iron.  I don't like spending a lot of money on cars. Some comments: I've rented the K4 and they work just fine, but it has a lot of nasty angles, especially the long tear drop tail lights and even the side of the greenhouse I do like the Toyota Camry ... at last they got it right The Honda Civic used to be an ugly duckling and now it's actually a decent looking car with a good amount of room.  I had a rented Honda Accord in South Florida, which I reviewed here and, better yet, it was a hybrid. These Hyundais are not very attractive and the jellybean one (Sonata) looks cheap when you get up close to it. I like the Nissan Sentra. I can't believe I'm saying that. The Cadillac is the only one on this list that is a GM car ... and which I like.  If not optioned up, the price point isn't that bad. The Charger is electric, so no.  But hybrid is fine. But where this leaves me is that there isn't much choice at all for those wanting to redeem what they've accumulated on their GM Card.  It wasn't like throwing money to the wind because you still make use of the credit card, but I would have not continued having a car card if I knew the market would be changing like this.  I would have fared better with another airline card.

Yeah, and if you’re a dumb dumb, like I expect that user was they left the key fob inside the car

Interesting, programmable door handles, if you unlock the auto, they will stay out, but if you approach it while locked with the fob, they will pop out and if within 3 min you do not open a door, pull back in keeping the auto locked.
