As far as mass-transit solutions and public policy go, regular readers will know that SUVs and crossovers are not my usual jam, particularly in their increasingly popular roles as jacked up on-tarmac people movers and single-occupant identikit commuter vehicles. Having gotten that out of the way, I'm here to tell you that the new Kia Telluride impressed me so deeply and so unexpectedly that I feel compelled to sing its praises. Quick take: If you're looking for a seven-passenger SUV that gets decent gas mileage (I've seen 26 mpg in more than 300 miles of driving so far, including quite a bit of NYC traffic), one that looks good inside and out, and one that drives like a smaller, nimbler vehicle, I think I may have found what you're after.
Sure it's rough. But it is for sure a car that lived well past it's time and could live real well again. Link is to a find of amazing barn cars coming up for sale.
You come in and find that all your drivers went to Webster NY. You have several parts that people want (like now!). You have to call and kiss up bigtime. Mr. Bunker calling and saying to bad just won't win. I made it and feel okay...for now.
In this debut column, lets' kick it all off by examining some tragic B-body muscle found in the wilds of New Hampshire and Georgia. Its sad to imagine each of these cars was once brand new, sitting pretty in the driveway of its first owner. Time isn't always kind to our beloved Mopars. Let's explore these muscle machines to see how they were originally assembled by the factory.
South and North 81....have traveled the same run of road over ten years plus. Could drive it in my sleep and think maybe have already. Sure some cold Winter days are rough. But mostly it is not that bad.

![Slide 1 of 49: It can be tough to fit a spa day or a massage into a busy schedule, but some luxury SUVs and crossovers can elevate your everyday commute and help ease your stress level a bit. We’ve compiled a list of upscale SUVs with the nicest interiors on the market, in terms of design, features, and comfort level. Sure, none of these vehicles include a personal masseuse (yet), but they definitely represent an upgrade over a run-of-the-mill commuter vehicle.
To come up with this list, we looked at our reviews of 2019 and 2020 SUVs and crossovers and found the models with the best interior scores, as awarded based on the U.S. News scoring methodology. That resulted in a handful of ties amongst two or more vehicles. In those cases, the vehicle with the better interior score, and then the lower base price, came out ahead.
Remember that the scores on our site are updated constantly, so we can keep our information accurate as new expert reviews and data become available. Therefore, the scores and rankings mentioned in this slideshow may not match the latest information in our reviews.]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAFSyZH.img?h=749&w=1438&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=f&l=f&x=475&y=407","dpi":1.8,"size3column":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAFSyZH.img?h=749&w=1123&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=f&l=f&x=475&y=407","size2column":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAFSyZH.img?h=749&w=1123&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=f&l=f&x=475&y=407"} "By All Means, Slip Into Something More Comfortable - Ford Motor Company")
