However, it has replaced its V6 engine with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine, an act that hasn't been received well by customers. Also, most people don't like that a number of physical buttons such as the HVAC knobs have been eradicated and replaced with touch buttons. The exterior doesn't have many changes while the interior has seen heavy uplifting. That said, I don't expect the new changes to bring in more sales. In fact they could be a turnoff.''' | ||
