Expedition's are too gas thirsty for our tight budget, as well as just being too expensive to buy. The Saturn Outlook provides the space we need with good gas mileage (more then the most fuel efficient minivan). While its exterior appearance is big, dimension-wise its not much bigger then an Odyssey or Grand Caravan.

MBSL65fan, I don't have Japanese cars. Used to. I don't like them, but I don't hate them. Toyota and Honda make excellent cars, most just as good or better then what Ford is offering at present. We considered the Pilot, but if we went Honda (which we might), then we would go for the eight-passenger Odyssey minivan.
