lolol- Hang the Burb, I want a Kenworth Pilgrimage! With optional traffic plow!!

If I got a Burb, it would be 2WD. I don't need 4WD.
But we probably won't do it - cost is a factor. We actually are gonna gut it out with our Accord as long as we can. If it proves simply too tight, a slightly pre-owned Dodge (Grand?) Caravan is the likely replacement.

stimulating and/or capitalizing on the SUV craze.<

I think that's a causality reversion. But hey, those are popular with us Feelies. :-) The SUV craze followed the minivan acceptance event which followed the baby seat mandate. I like sedans myself, but America and Japan have stopped building big sedans. The last survivor is the Crown Vic/Grand Marquis duo, and why it still has a solid rear axle, go figure.
There's the Mercedes S-class, but that is in a price league of its own; gas mileage blows - and it STILL ain't wide enough. We were desperate enough to test-drive one. It failed our needs test.
