Enter into the BMW/MB/Porsche realm of SUVs, and we are talking about an entirely different set of driving dynamics and capability entirely. Did not intend those to be included in the wagon comparison. With a choice given between the current hot topic crossovers and the afore mentioned wagons, for <5,000 lbs to tow, I'd rather have the wagon.

Yeah exactly, we are not talking Stelvio here, we are talking 3 row tanks. Nothing sporty in any way shape or form about them.
Just harder to access, no sliding doors and less features. I don't get it. |

Thought this would be relevant to the discussion. A survey put out states that 4 out of 10 buyers would pay a markup for a new vehicle.

FOMO is affecting car sales which is insane. The Kia will be lucky to be worth 1/2 that in a couple years. It's delusional ppl paying those prices making things worst

The average consumer simply isn't very smart. As said above it's one thing to pay a markup for a limited volume special edition vehicle because it will likely retain some value to collectors but to pay markup on garden variety SUV's and cars is pure madness. I suppose it's the sign of the times as consumers have a ravenous appetite for shiny new things and are willing to make extremely poor financial decisions to satisfy their immediate cravings.

It will be hard to tell how easy it will be to unload the cars next year for profit, but again, the protective nature of the locked residual is what makes the leases so attractive. I doubt a lot of people will agree since leases have an unfair stigma of "renting" vs owning. Take the ego out of the equation and do the math. It works. Disclaimer: it's easy to get a bad lease, most people barely understand how it works. Get educated, know what the numbers mean, don't focus on the monthly, and negotiate well. I unloaded my wife's lease a few weeks ago and got $2.5k over the payout. That was 7 months of "free use" of her car, or 20% off our out-of-pocket for the car.

Nope, the X7 is far more spacious for passengers than the telluride/palisade. We ultimately went with an x7 at 14% off MSRP with rebates, etc. Plus you get the b58 which is worlds better than the NA GDI engine in the kia.

I'd personally rather not be in debt for expenses, for others debt is fine…clearly if you're leasing then debt isn't a concern. |

Leasing can be a good tool for those that can afford it, but also be a false sense of security for those that don't. The irony of leasing is that it is more expensive in the long run, but also less expensive with regards to monthly payment. So you are either financially stable enough to want the best options for owning a new car for only 3 years, or not financially stable enough to afford a higher monthly payment on a financed car that is cheaper in the long run.
