I've been waiting for a hybrid/electric minivan. Looks like the coming years will bring us an Odyssey hybrid and a Sienna hybrid. While I like the Transit and would certainly get one if I were a single person, I need something that will comfortably seat wife and son--with windows. My Saab(great car, lots of space in the hatchback that's invisible to the world-at-large, and it's paid for!) will turn 200,000 about the time these cars are due to arrive.

People in our culture, like it or not, are crazy about cars. Piano technicians often work in upscale neighborhoods. Your car should put you on equal footing with these clients. I love my 2005 Acura MDX. Plenty of cargo for my needs, all wheel drive that gets you where you need to even in adverse weather, and it clearly states to my clients: Quality. It also does an adequate job towing my piano moving trailer. As a Honda product, it has steller reliablity. The MDX has been rated Consumer Reports top mid-size luxery SUV. Gas mileage? Not the greatest, (average around 18-19) but it is solid and safe. The other vehicle I considered was a Lexus RX-330. It just didn't have enough cargo room for me. But they are NICE. -- Ryan Sowers, RPT Puget Sound Chapter Olympia, WA www.pianova.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
