Viva Las Vegas
Lorraine and I are in Las Vegas this week. I am attending a conference here and although the agenda is quite full, we should have a couple of open days on Saturday and Sunday of next week to take some photos.
As we were checking in today, I was noticing that there were a lot of nice cars in front of the hotel. Like this one.
I switched cars last week as well but until I notify direct of kin, particularly my oldest son, I cannot post any details on the blog. Last time he heard about the change from one of his friends who follows the blog. I don’t think he has forgiven me for that one yet.
What I will say is that the new car is very nice. Not a Rolls Royce but not a Rav 4 either — not that there is anything wrong with a Rav 4.
hush hush then 😉
and… no Rav 4’s.
Definitely no Rav 4’s!
Cleaves, err i mean Josh seems to think you’ve switched to an Audi? What about the Hyundai Genesis? 4.6 V8 for such a low cost.. You cant beat that value!!!
And Cleaves would be, err, wrong. I did test drive one that he and I looked at but it was not the car for me. It is something else.
Well my original guess of the Genesis cant be right because it doesnt come in AWD. My new guess is the Lincoln MKS.
Underlying assumptions: not another Acura, not an SUV, luxury vehicle, new, local dealer…. Confidence is high.
It looks like I will have to do the big reveal fairly soon. But to your assumptions.
Not another Acura – correct
Not an SUV – correct
Luxury vehicle – correct
New – correct
Local dealer – correct
Lincoln MKS – incorrect
Overall, not bad 🙂
My guess for the new car would be a 2010 Lexus GS 450h (hybrid). It just feels to be a good fit.

Very nice car. It was certainly in the running. Unfortunately we do not have a Lexus dealer in town which did reduce the candidates somewhat.
Well, maybe next time. Lexus of Kingston will open in January 2010 (see link below).

Whatever the car choice is, I am sure it is a well researched and an educated decision (giving also high probability to a vehicle with an AWD).
They were hoping to get it going by November and now I am hearing spring.
You are correct. The new car is an AWD.
I think I know the answer now, if a significant consideration in the decision was to have a local dealer in Kingston, however I will await for the official announcement. Not excluding surprises though …
Congrats and enjoy …
I do not want to spoil the reveal, just will add that I think the brand name starts with an “M”. Lots of options in their class line-ups to get excited about … I could be wrong too, though … So, waiting for the reveal.
