That new sedona interior looks excellent. but won't come in time for steve.

 

Both are snazzy! I'd like to see more pics of that Calligraphy Palisade...

 

Do you really want to settle for the Palisade based on availability? My hunch is the stock is better on the Palisade because it's exterior styling isn't as good as the Telluride's (unsure about the interior comparison, but I like the Telluride's interior). Since the Palisade vs Telluride debate is mostly aesthetics, go with your wife's preference, if any.

I like the Palisade moniker better, but, realize it's not all that consequential.

 

Here you go

 

Wow. That is a really nice cabin...especially for the price.

 

Don't care for that 'extra' lower silver front bumper lip on the caligraphy.

 

Like I said, I prefer the Palisade inside and out. So its not settling.

I don't see how the materials in the cabin are any different...that color scheme is different but the interior materials and seat quilting etc are all the same as the Limited. For $950 more though I'd go for that lol

 

If the teluride basically isn't available then it's not settling.

Well your 'hunch' is purely subjective. I prefer the palisade inside and out over the telluride.

 

That's completely wrong. There are more Palisades being sold because they're made in S. Korea which managed to avoid long-term COVID closures and has a higher production capacity due to being a larger facility. Telluride is made here in West Point and doesn't have those conveniences.

 

I really like that Palisade! I'd prefer what it has feature wise vs. Telluride...including where it is made. I like the styling better also. I wouldn't go with that light color interior with your kids though. Heck, my blue jeans would turn them blue in no time.

 

Yeah I would get a black interior

 

Yeah not a fan of chrome in general, but it's nothing a little vinyl won't fix...

 

One subtle design cue I'm happy Hyundai is NOT doing on the Palisade is putting black plastic trim around the wheel wells. IMO, that downgrades the look of premium CUV's and SUV's. My mom bought a loaded 2020 Santa Fe in white and it has the black trim around the wheel wells - it's the only thing I don't really like about her car.

 

The Palisade has that black trim on lower models. Only the Limited and the Calligraphy have body color trim.

 

If you can't persuade on an SUV, is there any way to get a reasonable 2-year lease on one of these "less than ideal" minivans? So if you could suck up a current Sienna for only 2 years, by then the new models of the Sienna and Sedona would be out.
