Actually, the Vue is well-suited to my driving style. I have a 50 minute interstate commute each way, followed by some stop and go to pick-up the kids in the PM.

I'm just horribly disappointed in the room in the back of the prius. Over on prius chat, I saw all kids of posts about how easily people were getting kids in and out. One look, though, and my wife rightly exclaimed, "You've GOT to be kidding me!" A Highlander and even an Escape are more than I'm gonna pay for something that doesn't produce Prius numbers. I'd actually love a Passat TDI wagon, but..... So, overall economy and roominess are big factors here. Unless I win the Powerball lottery, I probably won't be buying until late in the year. But I'm kinda attached to the old poly-panel Saturns. I'm hoping there will still be one of the hybrids around when I'm looking to buy.
