Dave, Looks like "You would really rather have a Buick".
Congratulations Dave! Looks like a very nice SUV. I’m partial to Buick’s myself too. Happy driving!

I've been driving a Buick Park Avenue Ultra for 20 years. It has 162K on it and still runs like a top though some of the functions don't work anymore!, That's OK! Enjoy! Greg
Really nice interior, sort of like my subie. I'm partial to white cars because they always look pretty clean and don't need washing as much. Got a dark gray one now and it looks dreadful these past few days with all the salt and road schmutz covering it,, never had that with the previous white subie.
So, thanks all—would rather have a Buick is right…
Shame after the rest of the divisions after Chevrolet have gotten killed off, then that’s all that’s left, until you wake up and realize how with the way Stellatis got Chrysler after the Daimler fiasco, where to go to when I’ve still got GM in my heart and soul…
Can’t wait for Summer or at least that Hot Spring!

I really expected better of Daimler with the Chrysler "merger". A few good design features came from the Germans, but for the most part, it was a mess. The Crossfire was a total dud... I had one neighbor who had one and loved it, but I thought it was ugly and impractical. Chrysler seems destined to fail, I'm amazed they've lasted as long as they have. It'll be a shame, I think they've built some beautiful stuff over the years, and they don't seem to have quite so strong a "killed by committee design" penchant as GM does. Plymouth Prowler, Chrysler 300, Dodge "looks like a semi truck" styling, even the 1st generation Neon... and I don't care what anyone says, the PT Cruiser was the best executed retro styled car of the bunch. Chrysler divisions had the chutzpa to go out on a limb... Chevy got the frumpy me-too HHR and the pointless SSR.
Dave. I wouldn't try opening the sunroof in this weather, might damage the rubber gasket. I rarely open mine and would have preferred if it could have been deleted. Though we've never had problems with them in the Foresters our next door neighbors older Santa Fe sunroof was leaking last summer, made a nice messs of the interior..
Congratulations Dave on your new Buick.
Even though it’s made in China, I’m glad you at least stuck with an American brand where at least some of the profits may stay here.
I’ve had my new Chrysler Pacifica for two years now absolutely zero problems and one of the reasons I bought it was I wanted something that was union made in the United States. Actually it’s technically the final assembly is in Windsor over the bridge from Detroit.
I looked at the Toyota sienna minivans, but they don’t have the heavy duty suspension and trailer towing capabilities that I wanted in my Pacifica. I also wanted to have all wheel drive.

When did some start calling them Puicks?
No, Pete the sunroof was never opened—only the sunshade came opened then I closed it but I wished I opened it for the first car wash, otherwise I’m sure no harm just to show off the (with the ice in it, hammered) glass…
One factory sunroof I had which was on a used ‘95 Ford Thunderbird needed a slight nudging from the dealer to work again from a minor stalling on its way opening actually then got to a perfect shut and worked well after that…
I had a ‘95 Mercury CougarI added an aftermarket Webasto to and never had problems with, nor did I ever on my 2003 Honda Civic EX and I had that car for twelve years until 2015, which I drove longer with the air conditioner not working…
