Always have to consider hauling equipment when purchasing personal or company vehicles. Last year, I got a Scion XB for use as a company delivery vehicle, which is small, economical and holds a lot (it's the one that looks like a box). DonM also bought one and likes it.
In getting a new personal vehicle and replacing my company car this year (2008 models), I got the new Xb, which is a vastly diferent vehicle. It's basically a Camry, with a box frame. Add leather, heated seats, etc. and it's the perfect "gigmobile".
I've also ordered the replacement for my company car, which was a Subaru Outback. Have had multiple Subaru's, but the dealer is new and has a pretty bad rep. I've ordered a new Honda CR-v EX with the sport package. It's more expensive, less features (no heated mirrors, power seats, heated windshield wipers, heated seats, weather band, etc.).
Anyone had experience with the CR-V's? I already miss my trusty Subaru!
