Baxter Auto Staff Picks

Emily, Product Specialist: Ford Mustang GT

Emily, a product specialist at our Ford store, is a fan of the Ford Mustang GT, a sports car that delivers pulse-pounding performance:

"Let's take a look at the GT Premium 2026. Here's our beautiful Adriatic Blue exterior with chrome trim. The GT Premium comes with heated and cooled seats, a heated steering wheel and selectable drive modes. Click on the pony button and a screen pops up, where you can select your exhaust mode. You can also change the digital cluster; there are seven different cluster themes, and you can even change the colors. For drive modes, there's Drag mode, but you also have Slippery, Track, Sport and Normal."

Whether it's the selectable exhaust and drive modes or customizable digital cluster, the Mustang GT delivers a personalized performance experience every time you drive. It's a top pick for drivers who want head-turning style paired with real power.

Another Pick from Our Product Specialist: Ford F-150 LARIAT

No "best of list" would be complete without the Ford F-150, so our product specialist picked the Ford F-150 LARIAT. As one of our product specialists put it:

"This is the F-150 LARIAT, the nicest truck on the market."

That kind of confidence is telling. Blending comfort with the legendary capability of America's best-selling truck, the F-150 LARIAT is a favorite among drivers who prefer the ideal mix of work and luxury.

Dennis, Sales Manager: Toyota RAV4

Our Dennis, a Sales Manager at our Toyota dealerships, is enthusiastic about the top-selling Toyota RAV4:

"The most significant update is that the RAV4 lineup is now exclusively hybrid, offering around 40 miles per gallon," Dennis notes, emphasizing the practical value of that efficiency during daily driving. For commuters, that fuel economy alone makes it an easy choice.

The vehicle's updated exterior styling is another major highlight. "Both the front and rear ends have been completely restyled, giving it a bold, futuristic look," Dennis shares, pointing out how its sleek profile catches the eye on the road. Inside the cabin, modern convenience continues with available heated and ventilated seats alongside an upgraded digital instrumentation cluster. "Analog gauges are officially a thing of the past -- everything on the display is fully digital," he adds.

With numerous models in stock at Baxter Auto, there's a new RAV4 designed for almost any lifestyle.

Product Specialist: Toyota Camry

At our Toyota dealers, our Product Specialist loves matching customers with the Toyota Camry XSE:

"A major advantage of the 2026 Camry line is that every model comes standard as a full hybrid, available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations," he notes, offering drivers reliable traction across all seasons.

The sport-infused XSE trim stands out in terms of design aesthetics and onboard technology. "One feature shoppers consistently love on the 2026 Toyota Camry XSE is the overhead panoramic glass roof," he highlights. Behind the wheel, drivers are surrounded by user-friendly tech, including wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Toyota Safety Sense 3.0™ and full remote access through the Toyota app.

The new Camry is the epitome of style, comfort and efficiency, and it's a sedan that our staff enthusiastically recommends.

Chris, Sales Manager: Subaru Outback

Chris, one of our esteemed sales managers, showcases the enhanced overall height and cargo capacity of the Subaru Outback alongside clever, pet-friendly features many drivers are sure to love:

"This is a Touring XT in Sapphire Blue, and with the new generation, they've redesigned the whole vehicle overall -- including the new front end. They've added some overall height to the vehicle, and it looks great," shares Chris.

"You get a total of 34.6 cubic feet with the seats up, and with the seats folded down, that jumps to a spacious 80.5 cubic feet. Subaru being Subaru, they find a way to incorporate anything pet related. On the left side, there's a little Easter egg that shows you the dimensions for your little pup. And on the right-hand side, it shows you how much room you have to fit the pups in the back with the seats up or down."

It's no wonder that the Outback continues to be a top staff pick at our Kansas and Nebraska Subaru dealerships.

Mike, Delivery Specialist: Subaru Uncharted

Team members here at Baxter Auto, such as Mike, a delivery specialist, are fans of the Subaru Uncharted. Mike points out the impressive all-wheel-drive range and sustainable StarTex interior of this EV, also pointing out practical cabin touches designed for convenience, such as dual wireless device chargers:

"The Uncharted is our smallest EV, and its biggest strength is range. On a single charge, this thing will get anywhere between 280 and 300 miles of range with full-time all-wheel drive. The interior on the Uncharted is really nice as well. It's all upholstered with StarTex, which is a vegan material that's really soft, really durable, and really nice to have," notes Mike.

"Even though this is our smallest EV, it's actually still pretty spacious, which means you're going to have folks with you. And sharing is caring, so there are two wireless chargers down here that are super easy to access."

The Uncharted is the electric SUV that's built with legendary Subaru performance built into its DNA.

Baylor, Sales Manager: Volkswagen Tiguan SE

Baylor, one of our sales managers, loves pointing customers to the Volkswagen Tiguan SE in Platinum Gray, and it's easy to see why:

"This is equipped with Volkswagen IQ.DRIVE®, which is our suite of safety systems," Baylor shares, pointing out the extra cameras and sensors housed neatly behind the emblems.

The Tiguan SE features LED lighting throughout the vehicle and an upscale cabin. "Some pretty cool interior specs of this vehicle is that you will get leather seating, and they do carry that through the side upholstery," Baylor explains. He's also a fan of the ambient lighting and the eye-catching puddle lights.

Elijah, Product Specialist: Audi Q3

Product Specialist Elijah is here to highlight the Audi Q3 and what's new:

"Starting out in the front, you can see that we have the new redesigned logo," Elijah explains. "It sits flush with the grille, it's our new 2D design, and it's the same thing that carries over in the back of the vehicle." The refreshed styling sets the tone for a long list of thoughtful updates throughout the cabin.

Inside, Elijah points to a relocated gear selector positioned where the blinker stalk used to be, keeping Drive, Neutral and Reverse within easy reach along with a Park button right on the edge. "A few things that stick out from its previous generation are the interior lighting, it comes standard, along with a wireless charging pad, and also a heated seat," he notes.

Technology takes a big step forward as well. "What comes standard now is a 3D top view camera system showing different camera angles of the vehicle," Elijah says, describing the top view, front camera and individual tire views, plus a rear camera that populates automatically when you shift into reverse. In the rear of the car, an illuminated logo, available OLED lighting with four customizable digital signatures and a standard rear light bar round out the modern look.

More Audi Picks from Cathy: Audi Q5

Cathy is back on her own to spotlight the Audi Q5 and three of her favorite vehicle features:

"In the Q5, three of my favorite features are going to be ventilated seats for the driver and the passenger -- you've got three levels: high, medium and low," she shares. Next up is the tech she calls the Co-pilot screen. "You've got this all-new passenger screen... You can adjust the radio, put an address into the navigation, you can even watch movies on here, which is really cool."

Her favorite feature, though, is all about atmosphere. "Last one, and probably my favorite, is the panoramic sunroof," Cathy says, admiring the open, airy feel it brings to every drive.

Nate, Sales Manager: Mercedes-Benz G-Class

The iconic Mercedes-Benz G-Class, or G-Wagon, is a rare vehicle that commands attention wherever it goes. Sales Manager Nate, has a favorite detail that often surprises drivers:

"One of my favorite features about the G-Wagon is that your rear seat actually sits higher than the front seats. Makes you feel like you're kind of in a theater when you're back there. You get to look over the shoulder of the people that are in front of you, so it makes that driving experience really special."

Elevated rear seating is just one instance of the thoughtful design details that make the G-Class a top choice in our inventory. Blending legendary styling with modern luxe, it continues to be a true statement vehicle.

Cameron's Other Top Pick: The Mercedes-Benz GLS

Cameron also points to the Mercedes-Benz GLS as a favorite, sharing her admiration for this stunning new SUV:

"Our first standout feature is the size of the GLS. It is our largest third-row vehicle. Starting with the center console, we have our wireless phone charger up front. We have our cup holders -- not only are they cup holders, but they're also temperature-controlled, heated, and cooled. Our touchpad and wrist rest so we can access the buttons easily and comfortably. Lastly, touching on the size of the GLS, we have captain's chairs in the back that are heated and fully controllable, leaving plenty of space in the third row."

With heated captain's chairs, temperature-controlled cup holders and plenty of third-row space, the GLS provides all the comfort you need. It's an easy recommendation from everyone here at Baxter Auto.

Caden, Sales Manager: Lexus RZ 350e

If you're looking for a new luxury EV that's truly in a league of its own, Caden, a Sales Manager, recommends the Lexus RZ 350e as a top pick:

"With this, you'll notice, being a full EV, you do not have the traditional front grille," Caden points out, showing off the full block grille design. He also points out the exterior tech integrated directly into the front fascia: "This is the first of your four 360-degree cameras around the vehicle."

Caden also highlights the upgraded wheel package with all-season tires, black mirror caps, traditional door handles with push-button operation and a bladed taillight with black emblem lettering spanning across the rear. Inside, luxury meets convenience. "On the inside of this one here, you got the Palomino with Macadamia interior and an extra spacious back seat," Caden shares. Up front, driver and passenger enjoy heated and ventilated seats paired with a 14-inch display featuring Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.

Given its long-range capabilities and premium styling, the Lexus RZ is easily a go-to option at Baxter Auto.

Product Specialist | Lexus TX 500h

"Few of my favorite features are, of course, that F SPORT styling on the outside," he notes, highlighting how the sleek exterior styling sets a sporty tone right away. Inside and under the chassis, performance and comfort go hand in hand. "Those F SPORT bolstered seats keep me locked in when I'm driving," he points out, making sure driver stability stays top of mind during every ride.
