    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I just purchased/ leased the Telluride I was looking for - so I paid about 5K over sticker and I am trying to get over the fact that I left that happen .

But my wife wanted it - it is white an S model as I needed the sunroof AWD. Love it son far - 3 hours ...

Happy to be here - Be well and thanks for having me ..

Wish my wife wanted a Telluride. She wants the VW Atlas, and that is what we will end up getting... Oh well...
 
What a coincidence - We were seriously considering the Atlas - could not find the R line in the color we wanted . Be well and have a great day ..

The Atlas is a fine car. I will be happy with it for the next 5-10 years. It's just not the Telluride... I think there are a few compromises in the Atlas (my opinion):

1. with captain's chairs, the 2nd row only has the cupholders on the doors and nothing in the middle... that's a terrible design, T-ride has 2 in the middle and the doors
2. 2nd row air vents are only by your feet, whereas T-ride has on top, kids preferred on top
3. 3rd row doesn't have any USB charges! T-ride has one on each side
4. interior styling just looks blah to me. Lot of plastic, bland color/design. The infotainment seems dated - at least compared to T-ride

But I will learn to like the Atlas. The exterior does look nice and I will probably get the R-line added.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your brand new Telluride! What did the Telluride replace for you? I'm glad you found us.
 
Welcome, fellow neighbor!!! I am seven months with my new Telluride, 100% my decision to buy it but now every time my wife sat in the car she always says something nice about the car :) I think the Telluride has saved my marriage haha

I'm totally on board with getting the T-ride against my wife's desire. I think she will also end up liking it but it will definitely cause a rift if I make that decision without her consent :oops:
