There should have been V8 options.  ;)

Could only imagine a company that can’t build a reliable 4 cyl would do so much better with V8 [emoji38]

I would have thought that old 5.0 Tau engine would have been nice.

You and I would love that, but today's V8 buyers are shopping body-on-frame, not 3-row CUV.

Haven't their V6's always been pretty solid?

4 cylinders though, they've been like Communists trying to make concrete:

Commies love concrete, but they don’t know how to make it. Concrete is a mixture of cement, gravel and straw? No? Gravel, water and wood pulp? Water, potatoes and lard? The concrete runway at Warsaw’s Miedzynarodowy airport is coming to pieces. From bumpy landing until bumpy take-off, you spend your time in Poland looking at bad concrete. Everything is made of it — streets, buildings, floors, walls, ceilings, roofs, window frames, lamp posts, statues, benches, plus some of the food, I think.

Yep. That ship has sailed though.
Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

Apparently I wasn't the only one to complain: the Telluride's signature amber daytime running lights are back for 2024!
