First new car since 2009!
I said I'd likely buy used again after having great luck with the last several we bought, but the used market has changed significantly since last shopping for a truck back in 2019. Besides, my wrenching days are over and I'm just looking for something frugal, comfortable, and reliable to drive off into the sunset.
We got a good head start on test drives when we were helping friends shop for their new vehicles starting last fall. He wanted an SUV and ended up with a Benz GLC-300. She initially started shopping for a sports sedan but ended up with a Volvo V60 wagon. My wife was pretty smitten with the V60 and was settled on that but I convinced her to try some other alternatives before making the ultimate decision.
Anyway, we pick up the new wheels on Monday, so in the meantime I figured I'd let the gallery try to figure out what we got. ;D

Lexus?
V60 Wagon, in my experience, it's rare that a wife is going to change her mind once she's settled on something.
RDX or NX.
Good to see you posting KD.
