.

Is that a Chevy Traverse? Those are quite a value. That and the VW Atlas are the two best deals for an inexpensive, 3-row SUV I think.

I'm hoping wifey wants one of those instead of a $60k choice.

Yessir. Redline. I thought it was a good deal too. Kinda sits and drives like a Tahoe.

As I stated I have a 2014 Avalon the wife and were going to trade it in this year for an SUV, likely the Highlander or Ascent. Change of heart holding onto it a few more years finally convinced the wife to get a wagon. I have always been a geek for station wagons just like the damn thing targeting a Volvo V90. Any Volvo owners on board want to spread any advice?

I'm looking at 2018 Subaru Foresters today.

I pulled the trigger on a 2018 4Runner SR5 Premium. Wanted to go for the TRD Pro because they look absolutely badass, but couldn't justify the extra cost, and you can't get those with 3rd row seating, which is sort of important to me.

It doesn't have some of the cushy things I'm used to, like remote start or auto-tailgate, but I'm digging it.

Subarus are well built, if not particularly attractive. I had a WRX back in the day.

As an added bonus to driving a Forester, if you look anything like I picture you, you'll probably have butch lesbians in flannel shirts throwing their panties (tightie whities?) at you like it was their job.

The 4 Runner is a more rugged option by design the Highlander a smoother ride by design. Toyota was smart when the they put those two vehicles out appeals to all kinds and the price differences are not drastic.

Yeah, a friend of mine has a newer highlander and we had them side by side the other day. I agree with you. The 4Runner is WAY bigger though. Inside and out.

Yep it's really designed for the outdoors guy, hail a boat, toss camping gear in etc.

It seems like in my area, Franklin County, Pa., the most mid size SUV’s are Toyota RAV4’s and Honda CRV’s. You see them everywhere. I have the RAV4 Hybrid.

yeah, i'm not a super car guy. I know Subarus are about as nerdy as you can get.

also, you know I'm a dude right?

And I'm also 6'3 and shaved head and face. lol

Yeah the CRV redesign has them selling like hotcakes.

I miss my Isuzu Rodeo from back in the day.

That machine could turn on a dime.

I was on BC Ferries in late August.

I left my proper car and went upstairs via a really close exit to grab a coffee.

Coming back I walked through the upper car deck.

90% of the vehicles were SUVs.

Another reason I covet the V90
