Would have to see in person, definitely intriguing in photos.
Night Blue & Iron Blue are probably my top 2 with VW, followed by White Silver.

Heard back from my ins agent finally. Rate is even with the F150. Need to get in touch with a couple dealers & see how much they can come down on an Autobahn & get some quotes on trade value for the truck.
Also want to check out the green in person, otherwise it'll be night blue or iron blue, depending on what's in stock. There's only 2 green GTIs in Houston, 20 & 30 miles away.
If not, may look at an SE, which feature-wise puts the FoST at a similar level.

So...congrats on the GTI then?

Between these, I'd get the iron blue just because it's more unique. Night blue is just a dark blue, not really all that unique. Silver is...silver.

Yeah, I passed white silver GTI on the road today, it's out. Locally, the only Autobahns I'd consider (no red, white or black for me) are in Iron Blue, and 1 in GF Green. Would have to go ~3 hours for the closest Night Blue, or have it dealer traded in.
Depending on work today & tomorrow, may try to get out to the dealer across town & take a look at the GF Green in person.

Saw the new Jeep Cherokee commercial on TV. I love how they moved away from the "Truckster" look and went with a normal front end. Looks nice. Great improvements!

Looks too much like the Compass, IMO. Doesn't look bad, but I could see easily mistaking one for the other.

It doesn't look like a compass at all in person
My co-worker has a blacked out one
It's fast, but it's ugly AF
Interior is cheap, but it looks nice inside
I do like the side doors and ease of access
The tech is cool

Meant the new Cherokee looks too much like the Compass. Not the Model X.

Oh okay.. that makes a lot more sense

Your coworker drives a Model X? That's some 1%er Kurt level shit. Pretty soon you'll be buying an Audi. FFS

I know I'm quite biased but now it just looks like every other crossover on the road today. The old design didn't look amazing but it wasn't bad and it sure was distinctive.

2015 Buick Regal sedan as fast, reliable and stylish. "I don't care about perception, I just want what makes me happy."
Buick was the highest-rated U.S. car brand for dependability in J.D. Power's ratings earlier this year. It is pushing up against Mercedes Benz for a top spot in consumer consideration as measured by Kelley Blue Book.

This quote
That's like someone saying BMW should really pay attention to what Acura is doing.
Take notes BMW.
"Cadillac can learn a lot from Buick," said Rebecca Lindland, executive analyst at Kelley Blue Book in New York. "Cadillac needs to have more SUVs and they need to be really nice." For its part, if Buick leaders want continued success, they must sharpen the marketing message to better articulate the reasons to buy a Buick, experts said. "The advertising that says, 'Wow, that's a Buick?' is ready to evolve beyond the apology," Lindland said. "They don't have anything to apologize for anymore."

I rented a 2017 Regal.. seats were nice.
It's okay but not something I'd ever consider buying.
Buick Encore is one of the biggest pieces of shit ever made
Anyone who buys that is dead inside and has no interest in driving or self-respect

Looks like GM is using similar tactics for Buick as they are doing for Chevy with their infamous "WOW THAT'S A MALIBU?! I THOUGHT IT WAS A 80K LEXUS!!!"

I honestly look for a Buick at least twice a month
