Pathfinders are nice, did you get the newer style change? Thier a pretty good price for what you get too, and they have that sportyish look like the 4 runners. I have a jeep cherokee myself. I love it. I'm a really outdoorsy girl, so I like that I can throw down the back seats and throw my mountain bike back there. I hate bike racks. I use my jeep for more of a truck than a jeep though. You'll love the clearance of your suv when your drivin. I think I will always get a suv for that. My jeep is short on space though, it's kinda a toy suv if you ask me. The pathfinder was a good choice, since you have kids. Congrats, Ali

<if you buy a truck for say 30,00 brand new, youd be lucky to get 15,000 a year or two later. the exception is nice cars like a benz or a bmw.>
JacknJill, that doesn't even hold true anymore. I had a 2002 Mercedes that I bought for just over $30,000 new, and when I traded it a year later I think they gave me $18,000 for it, and it was in perfect condition.

the designer of that glorified station wagon should be shot. Station wagons were just about extinct like they should be and then this POS shows up. And don't get me started on the hemi. It's nothing more than a large inefficient engine with hemispherical combustion chambers. The 17 mpg isn't much of a wow factor either.
I can just hear the converstion among the management there:
"We need a new vehicle"
"Okay, lets bring back the station wagon, but we'll make it different"
"Hmmm, how could we do that"
"How about we make it really high performance"
"Should we design a new efficient engine for it?"
"Nah, let's just make the engine as big as possible"
"Brilliant!"
"But won't that give it bad gas mileage?"
"Sure, but who cares, people will still buy it. Let's put the word HEMI on the engine. Then all of those old guys that know what a hemi is will want one"
"Brilliant!"
"Okay, then after we put the word HEMI on the engine, we'll charge 5 grand more for that model"
"Brilliant!"
End of meeting results with a 5.7 liter engine that gets 13-20 mpg.
Brilliant!
