Default Station Wagon?

If I do sell the Ram, I'd still like to have a vehicle with some utility, preferably with AWD. A mid sized station wagon might do the trick. Toyota Vensa looks to be pretty expensive in AWD form. Audi/Volvo/Mercedes/BMW wagons are definitely expensive. My previous Passat had problems, so Passat wagon is probably out. Is the Subura Outback (in turbo 4 banger form) the way to go? Opinions?

The base price for a Toyota Venza V6 AWD is a hair over $30k. What's your budget?

Looking at new cars only, or used and/or certified as well?

Legacy GT wagon if you want something more carlike than the outback


Outback 2.5XT is really nice, the H6 one is ridiculously nice.

I think subaru is definitely the way to go. A (used) V70R would be dope, but depreciation is a bitch, and it'll probably cost more to maintain than the subaru.

I'd rock a European wagon.

I'd prefer to keep it $30k or less, though I think the Scooby 2.5XT might be pushing that limit. That being the case, I believe I will consider used vehicles as well.

The Venza 4cyl AWD should be hitting the dealers soon. even for just a 4cyl, those things move pretty well.
