I probably was too. You evolve. I've always been utilitarian pretty much and was a town and country guy. I have spent more money on personal preference lately, but would never spend 130 on a wagon

Most of my employer's business is production machines but we also do prototype work. Looked at the 2nd and 3rd row seat structures for the next Grand Wagoneer months back.
Remember looking at 3D models and feeling some deja vu. The seats had to be designed by Germans...BMW and Mercedes are not good at seats. Hundreds of MIG welds, most of which were in odd places and/or on tiny structural reinforcements and cable brackets (almost impossible to fixture and get the weld correct) in the second row alone. The product design sucked from both prototype and manufacturing standpoints.
Pretty sure the vehicle is many years away while they work out the manufacturing kinks in product design. Still not worth the article asking price.
