Re: Small SUV - Which would you choose?
That's a good point...a more frugal 4 cylinder vehicle will likely be more sought after on the second hand market and therefore easier to sell after a few years of ownership.
Not sure how that Yahoo page can validate putting both the Highlander and the CRV under the same "midsize" section though. That is misleading. The Highlander is bigger than the RAV and more comparable in size to the Honda Pilot.

Re: Small SUV - Which would you choose?
is that the 330 #23? 1967 Daytona 24h winner?
And I agree with Iain that the other one looks like a Bugatti Royale. Spent a happy afternoon with my dad many years ago in the museum at Mulhouse, but this looks to be in a rather less public garage? Friends in high places indeed.

Now Im really intrigued how he came to be sitting in it! Maybe at the Cunningham museum?
Hes left us dangling long enough I think!

Do you think the CRV is middle class car? Do you think I could get a parrot in the back? Or do you think I would have to buy a honda pilot (is it the chinese that get their l and r's mixed up?

These cars are much cheaper new in the states. Are we permitted to buy in the states tax free and pay the taxes in Canada, if so, what rate for BC? Thanks.

Dont men go on family picnics then? I must be doing it wrong. Mind you, i wouldnt pay 10k extra for the picnic table, popular mechanics contained a plan to make your own folding suitcase picnic table back in 1952.

It was indeed. And Mrs JonboyE drives it. She loves it. I love the fact that it is properly screwed together and just seems to go on, and on, and on.

My wife is properly screwed together too, and like our daughter she can go on and on and on too.

Re: Small SUV - Which would you choose?
I quite like the look of the new CRV (a picnic table makes my pulse beat much much faster too!). But as for style and cost and parrot stashing abilities how would you rate the Suzuki SX4 against the CRV and the Rav?
