True, I think that one receiver would be a bad design, but my assumption is that it SHOULD work perfectly either way GM decided to go. I’m thinking in terms of troubleshooting for a problem within a...

I’d hate to be they guy who drives pre-release cars in that camo stuff. I imagine “spy” photos of those are more of a advertisement thing tho. Gives the car some mystique. I’m still waiting for Dodge...

Why don’t the experts ever talk?

I’m wondering why the SMEs never chime in about anything. I occasionally run accross an article written by one, but it’s always diluted.

What is Kia and Hyundai’s relationship nowadays? I know they’re both owned by the same company at some level now. Multiple salesmen said the Palisade is just a rebranded Telluride and visa versa.
