im slowly accepting/realizing this was actually a pretty good move. i almost backed away from it last night but when i did look at it objectively on keeping the traverse vs the elantra the elantra just makes much more sense for me in basically every way. got 3 years of oil changes thrown in to boot.

i think its called machine gray, its a dark gray, not silver. probably the color i would of picked if i had full choice. the blue was tempting though. i saw a GT (hatch back) but quickly looked up the MSRP vs the SEL and said nope lol if the price was the same i would have gone for the hatchback.

i think because i had looked into it last summer and knew what the numbers needed to be is the only reason i actually went through with it. if not i probably would had just told her i needed to do more research after their first offer and not came back.
