I think some of you already know that I was in panic mode a few weeks back when I found out our 02 Caravan has Gen 3 seatbelts.
(You can do a search or just google "Gen 3" if ya need more info. )
Anyway... this (along with other things) prompted us to possibly replace this vehicle a little sooner than expected.
Can I just tell you... there are so many vehicles with 3rd row seating out there now with absolutely NO trunk space. I even looked at a Yukon... the trunk was a joke. The salesman pointed to a Yukon XL to get the trunk I'm looking for... gorgeous SUV, but too LOOOOOONG for my tastes. I don't like parking my minivan as it is... if I drove a Yukon, I'd be taking off fenders left and right.
And if I had only TWO kids and didn't need that 3rd row up all the time... then I would LOVE (insert drool here ) to have one of those Outlooks, Acadias or Enclaves... or maybe even a Hybrid Highlander. GORGEOUS machines... but just not in the cards for me. And with a 3rd row up, not much trunk space for a week long trip anywhere.
So I guess I'm back in minivan land.
Got my eye on an Ody... just can't beat the convenience, layout, trunk space, SAFETY, and better gas mileage.
If we needed something to tow our boat (which is at a marina now)... then I'd look closer at those Yukon XL's.
Just wish car manufacturers would make some of those cross overs with a REAL trunk behind the 3rd row. They're so darn gorgeous, they'd probably sell more if they did.
Anyway... thanks for letting me ramble!
