Their last one was a rebadged Chrysler Town & Country. My parents had an El Camino back in the 70s. No giant chicken in the back, tho. I believe GT'er jimsherriek has a Flex. That's a shame. Many greyhound and galgo people use vans like VW or Mercedes. One day when my old as time Volvo dies... as if that will ever happen. The swedish tank is still going strong.

Anyone have thoughts about the Ford Escape? It comes in a very highly rated hybrid! 30+ mpg is hard to beat for any size SUV. With apparently very lttle, if any, loss of power, It's also on our replacement list. Also, as the Prius lover on GT I'll add that they now have a new AWD Prius. I can fit 3 dogs in the back of my 2005 model with the seats down, and as much non-dog cargo as a small SUV.

Time4ANap Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Pretty sure that Jen (Neyla's Mom) bought an escape a few years ago.

cleptogrey Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) we find the paddle shifters work really well on crazy windey roads- so, maybe try a car out that has them? joe was shocked at how well they worked going both to and from silver city to the gila national site. people w/ SUVs were pale then they finally made it to the visitor's center- our odyssey should have failed that mission. nope- came out with a glowing review! and we have owned manuals for decades.
