I've seen at least 3 at my gym, 2 regular and 1 plaid. Speaking of it... I thought PLAID is on the other side? It's sad that Tesla dropped this one. I guess it's all about money when it comes to business.

When? When my German Buick starts becoming unreliable.... So far so good... 172K on the odometer (158k by yours truly). What? Heart wants something like an x3 m40i, or maybe E400/450 "long roof"... Logic says Honda Ridgeline..... We'll see who wins in the end

LC500 convertible probably within a year or two.
If they start going up in value we'll jump on one to beat the rush..
What a ****** joke, only ONE desirable vehicle from Lexus and it got cancelled.

I used AI to replace the background of the original image (as the background was a crappy fence with some garbage) and it changed the perspective of the shot but made a mistake and didn't put the Plaid badge in the correct spot - which as you caught, is supposed to be on the right. 👍

I'd say a virtually 100% chance on a GX, except that the Chevy/Buick/GMC franchise I deal with now only handles Chevy and GMC, and I like their sales-policies and service department.....people that I have dealt with for almost 15 years now. The Trailblazer disappoints somewhat, with more road-noise than the GX, and the lack of a 360-view camera option which I find important, but otherwise is pretty much the same vehicle mechanically...with a couple of inches of added length.
It's more complex than that. There are actually some things that I like more on the 2024+ versions of the Trailblazer than the 2024+ GX....and they both have the same drivetrains. I'll go into it more maybe in a (future) thread when I am ready to get my next ride.

They don’t care. They’re not a car company anymore and the same motivations that drive decisions a car company would make aren’t their motivations
