She is ok, a little sore. Guy cut her off on the thru way and she did a 180, hit a barrier. We made out pretty good, had the vehicle paid off a long time ago. I fucking hate the car buying experience, so I tend to take it out on the dealers (I will drive them nuts) We are looking into a Toyota Sienna. Anyone have one?
Purchased a 4WD Honda Ridgeline last month and it has met all my expectations and more.
17-21 MPG
The confort of the ride is tremendous for a truck/Suv vehicle
Tremendous cabin space and the short truck bed handles most anything a regular city dweller would ever need. The very spacious lockable trunk/cooler under the bed of the truck is a tremendous option.
Being a Honda, it holds terriffic resale value and is high on quality.
The 2006 version was voted the truck of the year by many leading consumer agencies, as well as some very popular car and truck magazines.

Jeep IMO is one of the poorest decisions there is. You have been lucky to get a good one. My bud owns several shops and has always told me to stay away.
He is American biased but I have had 7 Toy. in the last 10 years with nothing wrong with them. In fact, sold an 89 Camry to a friend with 90k and he is still driving it with 200k.
Many incentives out there.

Thanks for the feedback from everyone. Wife is fine. She was coming home from work on the 33 (Billsfan and Harry should know of that stretch of highway) no kids on board. Will look at a Ridgeline, not sure it will meet our expectations for seating capacity; we need a 3rd row of seats. I may also look into the Honda Odyssey, although they are in general, at the same price range as the Sienna and I prefer the Sienna. I did toss around the idea of another SUV, but I fully expect gas prices to rise ahain above the 3 dollar mark so minnivan was the clear choice.
It is american: "The Toyota Sienna is a family minivan currently manufactured in the United States by the Japanese automaker Toyota for the North American market only, and shares its platform with the Toyota Camry."

You would be crazy to be any dodge/chrysler/jeep product - stick with honda/toyata and you will come out ahead in the long run even though they will cost more.
Own a 2007 Rav 4 and love it. We have a rare version with a 3rd row seat that folds down. The 3rd row only works for small kids.
We only have 2 kids so we rarely use it. But its good to have in case we are toting others around and what not.
Its only a 4 Cylinder. But it has decent power and gets 28mpg on the hwy if you treat her right.
Perfect vehicle for a family of 4.

cheater, glad to hear the wife is okay.
Still planning on starting up the personal chef biz sometime in the future? May want to get something with some good cargo room!
Some people hate on the Honda Element but the new ones look much nicer than the older ones, and they are super practical and affordable. Options for rubber padded floors in the cargo area which work great for caterers.
