    I am a fan of the whole DRL's turning into chrome accents deal..... I am not a huge fan of how Hyundai applied it here, but to each his own. The interior is nicely done. My friend has a '17 and it isn't that bad, really. I am sure they will sell well for Hyundai.

    I salute the return of the names, as well. It has coincided with a continued resurgence of improvement in the vehicles they are producing, which is even more exciting. I did not agree with the notion that the alpha-numeric names would somehow dilute the brand name. Everyone knew that a Town Car/Continental were Lincoln's along with every other model that they produced. Even the idea of using "MK" was a nod to the Mark Series Lincolns. I would have been more inclined to back using the Mark name designation with a letter to follow than just the "MK" (fill in the blank with another letter) strategy they decided upon. But ultimately, Nautilus - Corsair - Continental (hopefully it somehow continues) - Navigator, provides a much better connection for a Lincoln customer than what they had. Now, produce the MKR and call it the Mark IV and I will be a happy man!!!! **** Lincoln, bring back that car and you may singlehandedly resurrect the personal luxury coupe market **** (he typed wistfully) ?

    As some may know, I am definitely a "Ford Man". But, as it is right at the moment, I am working in sales at an FCA dealer. I have for the past year. I had no qualms doing so because I grew up in Mopar house as much as a Ford house as a lad. So, on the new Heavy Duties from Ram. I believe they will be as big a hit as the 1500 was last year. It took me a while to warm up to the new '19 1500, but I didn't have that with the '20 HD. It is definitely a dynamite looking truck. It doesn't appear to climbing up too high in MSRP and capability should be at least as good as the outgoing model across the line. All in all, I am happy to be where I am at right now.

    You and your wife should be complimented for your obviously exemplary parenting skills. Well done.

    I have to say, though, that I am really digging the Volvo designs of the last 10 years or so!

    I respect Subaru's for what they are; that being reliable, capable and so on. They just aren't my 'cup of tea'. The styling of this new Legacy solidifies that opinion.

    I will concur with dfelt here. Selling the new Ram 1500, my biggest gripe with the current 2019 tailgate design is the fact that in the interest of trying to "improve" the design, they have overcomplicated matters. In some regards, this has made it a worse design for truck owners that want to really use the tailgate for more than opening/closing etc. When we do spray in bed liners, my body shop manager complains every time about how difficult it is to remove the tailgates, as well. I can't imagine this new "improvement", much less GM's design is any better and certainly durability is in question.

    This is one of those vehicles that I can honestly state that I appreciate the boldness of design at the same time as saying I don't think I could ever own one.

    I, in no way, am arguing your logic.... because it makes sense. But, in selling Heavy Duty Rams... I have seen several truck customers opting out of the Cummins and going with the 6.4 motor. It is, with no doubt, a good gas motor in the Heavy Duty. The reasons vary. It usually comes down to the DEF and/or the fact that the customer isn't towing as much as they thought. I, for one, would not need (currently) to buy a diesel if I wanted a Heavy Duty truck. And the $8000 plus difference in cost would also be a factor in my purchase.

    Man, you really have to appreciate how competition improves the breed(s)! I would still opt for the rock solid reliability of the Cummins, but the 7.3 gasser in the Ford Super Duty would (if it is all that it should be) would make me choose the 7.3 over the Ram 6.4!

    After shuttering my business after a decade winning some and losing too much.... I am working in sales in CDJR dealership. I can say unequivocally that the new 1500 is a well done truck, and the Big Horn/Longhorn model is my favorite (nicely priced and optioned without having to pay Laramie money). Most of my customers that have purchased the Big Horns have been my most enthusiastic about the truck, as well. The only real complaint I have with the truck is the new tailgate. In trying to improve on the design they made it worse (in the way that I think German engineering fails at times... by over complication).

    I'm not saying it's cheap either. But, for someone that needs a vehicle for the short term and wants as little hassle.... it may make sense? It is certainly a lot cheaper than renting a car from Hertz etc for more than a few days.

    If I'm not mistaken, I think that includes insurance and some maintenance, though. At least I think I read that in this or another article.

    Not a bad way to get butts into the showroom. I remember when F/M/L had a deal (I believe it was called the Red Carpet Lease) where if you leased 3 or 4 vehicles in a row the last payment on the last vehicle you took ownership. Of course, they discontinued it when they realized it wasn't profitable, but it was definitely interesting to me at the time. I think this program could definitely make the brand more desirable to people that get the chance to experience the vehicles more.

    See, this is why you are da' man! I know you don't have a personal affinity for Ford and Lincoln, but you are certainly the most even minded when it comes to talking about a brand that you don't favor. Kudos, AHWNN.
