It isn't necessarily my absolute favorite automotive color (which would be Amythist). First, I had to choose from what was actually offered by the Encore GX that year. Second, that brownish-bronze color is close to one of the classic shades that GM used in the late 60s/early 70s, on some of the cars I grew up with in high school. You often saw it, along with a more or less equally popular muted grass-green shade, on Chevelles, Olds Cutlass, Pontiac Tempest/Le Mans, and Buick Skylark.

You can, but I'm saying that even a basic Range Rover feels more like a Maybach inside than a basic S Class.

Not by default and it's only on the max spec if you option it.
Personally I don't like flat leather headliners, I like suede headliners for visual contrast and they can be combed into a pattern/all the same grain direction. Same with door cards, I like the insets to be suede as well for the above reasons and because I like having many textures to feel vs just smooth leather. If you ever get to drive a Bentley you will see what I mean.....the hidden areas inside the door handles etc are all diamond textured metal and feel amazing to interact with. You will never see any of it but you feel it every time

1) If you’re a fan of the Tesla truck, do not watch!!
2) If you’re looking for an educational video, do not watch!!
3) This video was created by an “idiot” and as of posting, around 750k idiots have also watched it in the 2hrs it’s been published.
4) However this video may/may not help improve future developments of the Tesla truck.

I think I just learned I’m an idiot.

I think I saw a Grenadier the other day. I was passing a parked car in a parking lot. I thought they introduced a new defender because the tails were round. But there's no new defender. Today this brand popped up on my social media. It looks more like G wagon. Anyone had experience with this brand?
