They are not going to find a competing vehicle cheaper.Over on Reddit/ askcarsales the dealership people are saying sales are extremely slow right now.

I got gas this morning and gleefully frolicked to my "Ego Boast" killing VW sedan.
As I got on the road a black RAM 3500 followed me out and I think he was a ballerina because
they danced on my bumper for 3.5 miles until I got to the intersection of Route 272 & 273 yeah really.
I caught the light with dancing boy right up into my grille. Using a line from the show " Street Outlaw's" for which
I hate. As soon as the light turned green, I never saw him again..... Torch and sizzled his bacon.
On the way home I hit the back roads I frequent, and a fool pulled right out in front of me in an old Suburban.
He was doing about 25 mph in a 40 and was all over the road like he was tossing a Caesar salad with chopsticks.
Anyhow I had to follow this dude all the way home because he took all the same roads I do.
That said I couldn't pass him as all those roads are solid lines. I did however stay 3 cars behind him. As we hit a turning circle, I saw him, and he was only like 40 years old. And by this time, it was obvious he thought I was following him...

Thanks for you avatar Hermann. I need to put on a front tag but got no bracket at the dealer as they are in PA. I plan on building a no drill unit..
I thought that's where they put it but wasn't sure.
My Passat VR6 GT was a monster. As fast if not faster than the Mustang except being FWD it could not get the power to the ground, so launch in particular was a problem, and torque steer was still an issue even when rolling under WOT. Both cars have a top speed of about 145 which I will never test. 
The Jetta on the other hand was fun and spunky but no match for either.
These days I drive carefully so as not to provoke a Maverick.
It's the Dodge guys that want to race me though. I've spanked a couple I caught napping, but not generally the way I roll.

I saw a mint Jetta station wagon today. I love the looks and storage potential of them..
You're going to run out of room. At least you probably already have filters for all of those.

I have owned many brands of cars / trucks from budget to $100K+ over the years one vehicle stands out as having the best seats and seat position and was the least tiring to drive. I love cars but I hate driving because I hurt!
I did a 6 hour drive and when I got out I remember thinking I could sit back down and drive the 6 hours back home. I can't say that about any other auto.
It was a then new 2009 Honda Odyssey mini van.
Yes it was my wife's mini van...
The van handled more like a car with a sporty feel, not minivan ish at all. The seat was in the perfect upright position, had mega room for me and storage, I liked the arm rest.
Honda resale value is fantastic when time to sell / trade.
Ohh and it's a Honda...
The Hondas in general did have a bit more front end tire/road noise than some others but that was in 09, I have not driven a newer Honda.
Based on my experience and how fantastic the Honda was for my back, butt, body in general may I suggest go do a test drive or rent one for the weekend...
Good luck with your car quest!

Well, 2024 Pathfinder Platinum it is.
Kia sales was slow. Didn’t answer our questions about their lack of positive reviews for their service department. And we have been in the Nissan family for like 20 years and they have always treated as well.

KIA dealerships are notoriously bad in that regard, not that they are the only ones. So do you have the vehicle yet or not? Pics!
I just did a timing belt on a 2006 Honda Odyssey. After I did the belt i test drove it, and I actually enjoyed driving it. It was fairly nimble and had enough power and the seat was comfortable although adjusted by the owner. It was loud inside though. If I bought one it would get some sound deadening on the firewall and floor up front.

I was going to buy a Pathfinder until the Maverick became available. I was going with the Rock Creek edition and thought I may trade the tires into the dealership for less aggressive ones.
It had the features I wanted without the Platinum cost. Very nice vehicle. Congratulations
Keeps your engine clean as a whistle!
