What kind of car do you drive?

Thanks for the replies regarding Pilots @Crump's brother and @NJ-Buckeye . I don't know if my better half will let me go away from our Odyssey, but just wanted to check in with folks who recently posted about having Pilots in this thread. A couple years ago, I rented a Passport in Denver for one of my kid's sports, and the thing saved our lives in a full on blizzard where cars were going off the road left and right. I'm a big fan of the tried and true V6 that Honda uses across these lines for a family hauler, as there are many mechanics familiar with them should something happen on one of our road trips. I share @dozenmonkeyz concerns with Toyota/Lexus moving away from their tried and true V6s to the turbo 4 cylinders. Which brings me to...

Any thoughts on a picking up a used EV? Drove a BMW i4 rental and loved it
Yes, but not for a family hauler where I would worry about being stranded if we were on a road trip and something went wrong. Would also require some electrical work to be done at home (charger, but also have a short to the back half of my garage). My wife's car will also need replacing (or a commitment to high maintenance costs going forward), and that is where an EV would make a lot of sense for her daily driving needs. I've briefly looked at Audi e-tron GTs, as those go way under MSRP for being lightly used, and will check out the other brands.

If I knew Lucid was going to stay in business, and if they had a physical presence within a reasonable distance, the Gravity would actually be an awesome option as a family vehicle. Great design and long range. But I am afraid of what would happen if it were to have issues - I wouldn't want to wait months for a fix. And I don't know if the Saudis are going to let the brand go the way of the LIV golf tour.

@exhawg awesome on the Fisker Ocean. Hope it treats you well.
