      Just wish they would add AWD to the 2.5t. People have pointed out that they make more money from SUV's and CUV's. Which is true, but there is still a market for sedans. Just make it to where AWD is available for for all models. With suspension technology, they can make both plush and stiff rides in one package. Make a luxurious and sporty car in one rather than make 2 seperate models.

I'm not keeping my vehicle longer than 15 years so absolutely no reason to buy Toyota. I want to enjoy the car I drive and have power for good value and Toyota cannot give me that.

Pricing, pre-covid, one was able to negotiate and buy below MSRP. During covid, prices were marked up ridiculously. Post covid, I guess it's hit or miss. I have come across some dealers that still have mark ups. I guess what I'm trying to ask, is this a good time to buy or should I wait?, when it comes to pricing. I understand your expertise is in vehicle previews. Because I'm a long time subscriber, I trust your judgement. I would like your recommendation. Thank you

    Joe I’ve been watching videos since March 30, 2023 when Hyundai introduced the newly refreshed 2024 Sonata N Line. I have switched over to the 2025 K5 GT. Of all of them Raiti’s Rides definitely does the best job! Your camerawoman does a great job too!

    Also the k5 is longer than the Stinger. If the stinger had a bigger gas tank it would have been a winner in my book. 300 mile range on a full tank. Not cutting it. My 22 kia k5 gt has a 420-425 range and my 15 kia optima sxl has a 490-502 range. They need to go back to the 18.5 gallon gas tank.

The extra power and the way the stinger handles \ ride is in a different league than the k5. I had the sonata before so i know.
