It doesn’t seem to matter where the cars are built. I think my folks’ 2016 sedan was from Marysville or possibly Canada. I have a 2019 hatch and those are built in England. Regardless of where they are built, they use the same a/c system components.

So a guy in my neighborhood has a pretty insane lineup of cars. Yesterday he added a brand spanking new Rolls Royce Phantom to the lineup. White as the primary color with the black contrast top. I was behind him driving out of the neighborhood yesterday and we ended up driving the same direction for a few miles. That is a car with serious presence. I'd be terrified to drive it anywhere based on the price tag; I think they start around $500k. That thing just exudes luxury. I'd love to ride in it.

One of the wild things about the Phantom is that it's so big, its 22" wheels appear to be much smaller, like maybe 18". The overall tire height is the same as the dedicated offroad set that comes with the 4Runner TRD Pro.

This thing is nice. The new design first looked odd but once used to it, it made the previous gen look dated. The previous gen is as nice. I may be wrong but I don't think that the interior of this generation.

I was a huge Honda fan and my folks have owned several of them over the years. I bought one based on their satisfaction, but within a month of me buying mine, theirs was 3 years old and started having a/c issues. Honda gave the middle finger until the problem was widespread.
This was basically a matter of time for mine. I had the warranty components fixed, but the evaporator will fail too. The only question is when. I get that a 28k car is a cheap car by current standards. When I had my 4 month old Lexus IS250 (get the big motor, I did do that later) have the battery fail, Lexus never acknowledged the parasitic drain, but they at least addressed the problem immediately. That’s all I ask.

Yes. Looks like interior is from the generation prior. I was just looking at some pics and just posted what I thought was interesting. The engine covers are pretty cool imo and nicely finished with what looks like two pieces.
