"I think Lily, you need to add one particular vehicle to your list. It actually is a well-priced vehicle. There's turbo, turbo S versions and also PHEV versions of this. I know we're going good. It is the Mazda CX 90. I really like it. Yes. We've driven now both the turbo and PHEV versions of that, and it's so impressive. That is now the largest vehicle Mazda has ever built."

Volvo XC90
"I don't worry about ruining that trip for all three of you moving on. Okay, I like the Lexus GX endless square. I mentioned those before. I don't think they're big enough. I don't think that the grand Highlander hybrid, you're going to like the seats enough. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine, but I don't think I like the seats enough. I actually think and I'm going to go somewhere else, give you some options. But I think the best choice for you guys and especially for Lily is the Volvo XC 90 T8 that you brought up. And I bring that up because it's a known brand for you that you already like. It seats you already love. So it's a bigger newer version of what's already working for you. I like Paul's CX 90 a lot. That's an excellent choice. But I think the XC 90, that's funny. CX 90 from Mazda XC 90 over here in Volvo."

Porsche 911
"Tons of back seat space, genuinely good dynamically. And then the real wild card here that really pushes it, but Chris, I want you to consider your usage. The current generation 9.11 or even a 991 because starting the 991 from my taste, the 9.11 got too big, but if you want usable back seats, it's 991 or 992. They've got usable back seats now. So while the car's gotten bigger, it's gotten more usable. Yes. So I really think depending upon how you're actually going to use that car, you could have a 9.11 in the garage."
