Funny how every time you see GM cars getting transported on a trailer in the video, it's a Ford truck pulling them.
I would think so too, the XT5 seems a decent size for a family of 4, the XT4 is too small. I was surprised how solid feeling the little Lincoln SUV is, not much quieter on the hwy or smoother on big bumps than our Outback, but it had small bump/broken pavement absorption figured out, much better than our Outback.My son has a 2018 XT5 … not that old but I seriously doubt it will be more problematic than some German vehicles
Oh they're better than Nissan???Depends on what you buy. I'd say a lot of them are more reliable than Nissan with CVT these days.
My wife’s friend has an XT4 … she is divorced and lives alone - big enough for her …I would think so too, the XT5 seems a decent size for a family of 4, the XT4 is too small.

That's nothing.I was surprised recently to see a Hyundai Santa Fe used as an unmarked police car. It was parked with red and blue emergency lights flashing in the grille and back window with other local cop cars. This SUV is made in the US.
well.. yes/no..Not anymore.
1)(admittedly pedantic) It's Opel, with an e... which was the German branch of GM, which is why the VIN should start with a "W", for "West Germany", and is now Part of Stellantis.Buick Tour-X (Opal) made in Germany using an American engine and Japan transmission.
More like how Nissan has fallen.Oh they're better than Nissan???
That's not exactly a high bar.
That's nothing.
Infiniti FX
BMW...
My opinion is just that.
I own an American-made SUV. But it would take massive change for me to buy an American brand vehicle. They don't impress me. I don't like them. I think they're junk.
As a car guy, there is exactly ONE car from an American marque that I'd like to own - the Camaro.As car guys, I like to think that we think deeper than the average consumer when it comes to writing off an entire continent of vehicle. There are plenty of American, Asian and German cars I would never buy...while at the same time there are plenty of American, Asian and German vehicles I would love to own.
Most of the vehicles I've owned have been GM or Chrysler. A few VWs, a Mercedes and a Ford sprinkled in....all have been solid and nothing I would even consider calling junk.
I know I missed the carbureted malaise era but c'mon, we can do better.
You should know by know that MOST cars are garbage; Just a few gems to be mined in the siltOh they're better than Nissan???
That's not exactly a high bar.
Different strokes I guess.You should know by know that MOST cars are garbage; Just a few gems to be mined in the silt
I've owned over 75 cars and trucks, most from new, and only a handfull were great cars. On the GREAT Side was a 1965 Buick Electra 225, a 1967 Chevelle SS396 4 speed and a 1981 Chevrolet S10 STD Cab/ Short box V6/4M.
On the Absolute Garbage side was a Renault Fuego, a Mazda 626 and various Fords.
I liked my 1988 VW Fox though is was fraught with major quality issues. My 1983 Scirocco was great, but WAY too slow. The Jetta was interesting, but about as far from what anyone would define as a Rabbit or Jetta. I would call it a rebadged, Euro cheap Škoda.
Having Driven and maintained cars through five decades, you get a wider perspective. What year would I beam back to?
The mid 60s and grab a few American built gems.
