Nah, I don't do SUVs. Full sized vans maybe. I am giving serious consideration
to a station wagon though (I had just about settled on a Saturn wagon [the
small one, not the new large one, that one's a bit more than I want to spend,
though it looks like it has good potential] until I read today's consumer
reports which almost totally panned the Saturn [though they were looking at
sedans not wagons]).

My sister can't praise her Saturn station wagon enough, although it's not a
new one (5-6 years old now?).  Myself, I'm a big fan of Chevy Astrovans; big &
safe, and they haul a HUGE amount of cargo.  (of course, I'm biased - my
father-in-law is a GM mechanic)
