Random but a common praise I have for certain GM vehicles is just how brightly illuminated their interiors get at night.
It drives me nuts when you activate all the dome lights and it's still a cave of darkness.
This is especially a win for family haulers like Buick's 2025 Enclave Avenir.

More blue interiors, please. I think Buick's latest Enclave (2025 Avenir here) offers a pretty good balance between physical switchgear and on-screen controls. It's not the best, but it fairly good. Toggles for HVAC, buttons on the steering wheel, and I do like the small rotary dial for volume.

Good thing all of these new cars are also launching in Gran Turismo. With skyrocketing prices, 50-year mortgages, and no health insurance, it's going to be the only way for people to afford a new car.
