and bought a minivan. But at least its AWD so i can take some solace in that. I held out for a while but cramming all that junk for our kids into the outback just got to be too much.
wifey is due for a new ride in dec. we both agree that we will not go minivan. but with a baby and two dogs finding an affordable suv/cuv with enough space is challenging. we both love the GMC Acadia but the MSRP on that thing is ridiculous. not to mention GM isn't cutting any deals on this model at the moment. hopefully we can swoop in in dec. and do some negotiating.
We're on that path. Next car is a minivan. We'll keep the outback though. And it's at least a year out still.
Toyota Sienna? Isn't that the only one you can get with AWD?

Does it get better gas mileage than a Hummer?
Thats what I have. My manhood is intact....

On another note...as critical as people are about minivans, I'd be hard-pressed to find an SUV that can match one in storage capacity vs. fuel economy.

I agree and that's why I'd buy one over a large SUV at this point in my life. My wife has a small SUV now (98 Blazer) that gets crappy gas mileage and doesn't really have all that much storage. We have to put a cargo box on top just to bring our two kids car camping for the weekend.
The Acadia is quite nice. I think the Saturn is basically the same and has a lower sticker.
That used to be us. We learned to streamline operations quite a bit. It gets easier as the kids get older.
I had it worse...when we went car camping this summer my Highlander was so space-challenged that, even with the box on top, we still needed to bring two cars.I agree and that's why I'd buy one over a large SUV at this point in my life.

Greg - just curious.... How old are the kids? And how many?
