Cast iron brown vs galaxy maroon pearl

I'm torn between two color combinations
Cast Iron Brown (Unicorn) exterior with a black interior
Galaxy Maroon Pearl exterior with a brown interior
I know the Cast Iron Brown isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I absolutely love it. I've owned a brown vehicle before, and I constantly received compliments on it. There's just something about that rich, earthy color that really appeals to me.
On the other hand, I also really love the brown interior. My only hesitation is wondering if it's one of those things that feels exciting because it's different and new, and whether that novelty might wear off over time.
For some context, I currently have a 2022 model with a black interior. When I bought it, I specifically searched for that combination and even traveled out of state to find the exact exterior color, interior color, and drivetrain I wanted. So black interiors have always been my preference.
Now I'm questioning whether I truly prefer the brown interior, or if I'm simply drawn to it because it's something I haven't had before. I know I'll spend far more time looking at the interior than the exterior while driving, but at the same time, I also want to love the vehicle every time I walk up to it.
If you were making this decision, which combination would you choose, and more importantly, why?

Park Assist on 2025 SEL Fob

I purchased a 2025 SEL a few weeks ago. Everything I’ve read says this trim doesn’t have park assist but it is on my fobs. Is it on all fobs for this year or am I missing something?

Thanks!

New 2026 Palisade calligraphy hybrid AWD

Just purchased a new 2026 creamy white on pecan brown hybrid calligraphy AWD. Picked it up at the end of June from a partner Hyundai dealer we have in Arkansas and shipped it to my home in northeast Florida, as it just arrived. Simply will not deal with Florida Hyundai and Kia dealers that have outrageous taxable fees so we always purchase out of state and ship right to our front door. It’s harder to find AWD in Florida as well and it’s not always easy to find them in the brown interior also. Four months ago we picked up the same car but in black on the light gray interior as an extra vehicle and we really like it so we figured we’d get a second one. Very happy with Hyundai and the vehicle interior is so nice that it’s almost in the luxury realm in our opinion and a little nicer than the Kia on the inside. The MSRP is $61,560 and we had our dealer install the cross rails, ceramic tint the entire vehicle, except for the windshield and sunroof, and also add in the NFC card key. We gave serious consideration to the new Telluride hybrid SX P X Line but wanted the front and rear dash camera system and also wanted the real Nappa leather seats. We also did not want a black interior in Florida, which sadly seems to be the only thing Kia offers for their top trim other than the Millstone, which is also very dark. Hoping for a great experience with this Palisade hybrid as well. Thank you Hyundai!

Can’t activate bluelink

I bought a CPO 2026 Palisade Calligraphy and have had so many issues with getting bluelink set up. I’ve been going back and forth with customer service and the engineers determined that I needed a software update despite the last one showing being done 5/29. I downloaded that via USB and I still can’t get it to activate in the vehicle.

Has anyone had this happen? I have a little 🚫B in the top right corner. Customer service made it sound like this is the service off Verizon towers? But it’s always there and my phone also uses Verizon towers with no issues.

Help me fact check this please...

I took my 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy hybrid for service for a couple of issues I am encountering. The answers they gave me seem not correct and I would love your help fact checking if this is true as far as you know!

1) charging pad on middle console does not charge my phone well and always over heats my phone. Dealer said phone should never be in use while it is being charged (which makes no sense considering the Android Auto feature). They also said there is a clear label on the console when you buy the car that says it will overheat the phone. I do not recall seeing that at all. Do you all remember anything or experience the same issue?

2) the "eye on road alert" feature doesn't disable, even though I have gone into driver assist menu and disabled it. Dealer says it really can't be disabled, despite the ability to uncheck it in driver assist menu. This sounds like BS to me. Anyone else have any experience with this?

3) Paint issues: my paint is chipping badly and I complained about it to Hyundai corporate after reading that there were others having same issues. The dealer told me because I had done a ceramic paint protection on my car, the paint warranty was void. I threatened to sue them and reminded them their own sales rep had suggested I do ceramic to protect the dark paint, and the service department quickly backtracked and said they'd look at making an exception, which I think is absolutely abusive and absurd. Anyone know about this paint warranty termination when you treat your car to a paint protection like ceramic?

Dealer is Capitol Hyundai in San Jose, California.

2026 Hyundai Palisade SEL Premium Pre-Owned Certified - Good deal as-is?

We just looked at a 2026 Hyundai Palisade SEL Premium today. It was a loaner car, so it's a certified pre-owned with only 3347 miles on it. I asked for the "out the door" price, and here's what they offered me:

Original MSRP: $48,260
Selling Price: $45,847
Rebate: $1000

Purchase Price: $44,847

Gov Fees: 198.50

Proc/Doc Fees: $899

Taxes: $3490.44

Total: $49,434.94

KBB shows the value between $41,500 - $43,500

It's been a while since I've bargained on a car, so I'm a little rusty, and it seems these hold their value pretty well nowadays. I'm just curious how much bargaining power the buyer has with a pre-owned one like this. Anybody have experience with buying one with this little mileage, and does this price seem about right?

2nd row net

We have a baby coming VERY soon! We have a 2023 Palisade. We are looking for a net that will prevent out dog from coming up into the 2nd row seating when baby is in there. All the nets I've found are meant to go in the very back and isn't helpful for this use. I know it exists out there somewhere, any help is greatly appreciated!

I ain't mad

Wife and I purchased brand new 2026 Palisade SEL in Typhoon Silver. This car is a beast. So much space compared to our previous car, a 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport. $3,500 off MSRP ($2,500 dealer/1,000 Hyundai) was cherry on top. The SEL has just about every feature our family of four could want and more. Impressed is an understatement. Glad to be a part of the Palisade family.

Joined the club after months of research and anticipation...

2026 hybrid white/gray Cali Pali. Exactly what I wanted. First time brand new car owner. She's like a spaceship. From 16 to 330 miles so far and not even close to a single lick of buyers remorse. Got a ceramic coating, about to get that Burlington special, and may she give me 10 years of the same gorgeous inside/outside and utterly sublime ride she's given me so far. 🥰

Nail in tire sidewall at 3k miles... Best way to replace?

Edit - Ended up preordering a tire through Discount Tire. They undercut the dealer part/install price by a bit, and seem willing to install promptly upon arrival. It's still going to take a week to get here, but that was the same with every place I contacted.

2026 AWD Hybrid SEL. OEM tires - Nexen n'fera Supreme S 235 65r18

Dealership wants $250, but is wishy washy about actually installing it. Tire shop wants $350 including install. Neither can get the tire until end of next week, so I feel like shopping around a bit. Found the tire online for $223, but I know nothing about the sellers.

Hoping someone might have some suggestions...
