The HCH also doesn't have the ability to take a road trip with 3 other guys, gear and bikes. I would LOVE a station wagon that got similar milage to the HCH but allowed me to comfortably take a road trip with 4 people/4+ bikes on the roof.
Anyone else interested in a hybrid with cargo room?

I have a roof rack for mountain bikes on my HCH I, and it makes the car get worse gas mileage. If I could have a do over, I'd probably get a hitch mount.
My brother wound up going with the FEH because he rides road bikes, and wanted to be able to store his carbon fiber monstrosity that cost more than a lot of used cars do inside it. You can't really fit more than two bikes inside it, though, and definitely not three bikes and people. The big question I'd have there, though, is whether the FEH gets better mileage than the Outback, or better enough to justify a switch. If you really want to be able to bring everyone, I think you're going to have to go hybrid highlander if you want to go hybrid.
