2020 Hyundai Palisade Limited AWSD The all-new Hyundai Palisade is a luxury SUV at a not-so luxury sticker price. With its bold, sophisticated styling outside and premium, expansive luxury inside, Palisade makes a big impression at every angle. Under the hood, Palisade has a 3.8-liter V6 matched with a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. And the HTRAC All-Wheel Drive means behind-the-wheel driving confidence. Palisade surrounds the driver and passengers with cutting-edge technology that’s incredibly intuitive, seamless and convenient. Full-on digital. All-out modern. The sleek, modern digital look is one thing. Simple functionality is everything else. Palisade
has it all. Available on the limited edition is the Fully Digital Instrument Cluster & Hi-res 10.25-inch Touchscreen. The look of digital is clean, sleek and modern, with all information at the ready, brilliantly engineered and beautifully displayed. The interior is reminiscent of a European top-tier luxury SUV. Premium seats for personal space. The quilted Nappa leather seating surfaces provide comfort and design excellence. Palisade's fresh sense of style presents the rare luxury of an SUV this size and price-point. When it comes to protection of passengers, Palisade takes safety to a whole new level with the latest Hyundai
SmartSense innovations. Available blindspot view monitor provides a dash-screen view of who is approaching in either the left- or right-side lanes to ensure safe lane changes. When turn signals are on, side-view mirror cameras show a video feed of Palisade's blind spots on the digital instrument panel cluster. Heads-up display gives instant, pertinent access to vital information within view at all times. Drivers can get all the important info without taking their eyes off the road. The display puts it all safely in the driver’s line of sight. The core of Palisade is designed using advanced, high-strength steel. And like every Hyundai, it’s backed by a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited —Mike Hunter warranty.

Yes, Manners Matter Knowing how to comport oneself is unarguably a positive asset; one’s demeanor over a dining table is as significant as over the boardroom table. Business meals are more than just talking shop or sealing a deal. One can be the best in one’s field or tops in one’s company, but if one messes up the business meal, no one is going to be impressed. Following are a few business dining tips that will help one make the best impression. What to Order? Guests should ask the person who invited them for suggestions on the menu. The response will provide a top and bottom price range based on the entrées recommended. To Drink or Not to Drink? If the host orders alcohol, guests who don’t wish to drink should simply order the beverage of their preference without an explanation. One is under no obligation to consume alcohol at lunch or any other time of the day.
Connections & Conversation: It’s the host’s job to keep conversation going during the meal; guests must contribute with courtesy. Light topics include books, travel, vacation, movies and pets. If a need arises to talk to the server, one should not interrupt the flow of the conversation, but rather catch the eye of the server or slightly raise one’s hand. Tipping: The host is the person who extended the invitation and is responsible for paying the bill. The tip should reflect the total price of the bill before coupons, discounts or gift certificates. —Sharon Schweitzer, J.D., an international business etiquette and modern manners expert and the founder of Access to Culture (www. protocolww.com)
