I just bought a 23 Kia Telluride (was also looking at palisades) to upgrade my 05 outback; I did extensive research, and ended up zoning in on Hyundai-Kia specifically because their electronics are so 'hackable,' while still containing all the cutting edge sensors.

I think it is going to be a tiny sliver of cars that are allowed to get away with having a vehicle be able to be controlled like a remote control from a completely unencrypted, trivially intercepted-and-changed protocol. In the future I suspect if manufacturers want to put these features on cars, they will have to protect the communication between the different systems.

How do you like it? And why did you pick the Telluride over the Palisade?

It's of course a huge improvement. It was close and I'd probably have been happy with either but ultimately the telluride had features i cared about (better towing) and palisade had some i didn't (electified third row seats); and I like the look of the telluride better.

I live in a rural area and got the trim with the 'offroadish' appeal; which didn't really exist in palisade.
