I've been "agonizing" over a purchase decision since January, 2019; when I first came across information about the upcoming release
of both the Telluride and the Palisade.
I test drove a Telluride last March, went to the NYC Auto Show to see and compare the Palisade and Telluride;
probably watched every video review available on the internet.
For a good while the Telluride was in the lead; I was leery of the Palisade push-button transmission and it's rather large front grill.
I became a member of Telluride Forums, Palisade Forums and the FaceBook group for each vehicle to keep tabs on owners' feedback.
As, with any vehicle; each had tales of issues (wind noise, windshield cracks, electronics glitches, etc.) and that was the main reason to delay a purchase.
However, my '03 Suburban had me troubled; I felt it was time to act before something major broke down.
Yesterday, I leased a white Palisade SE.
Ultimately chose the Palisade because I feel it has the higher quality finishing.
This is my first time leasing and also the first time buying a white vehicle.
Only been one day, but absolutely no regrets with the decision.
I plan is to either purchase or lease an SEL Palisade at the end of the lease.
Although I opted for the base version, the seats will be changed over to heated seats by the dealership next week.
Some comforts are just "necessary"
