• The other day dh and I were talking about the next car we want - while our Subaru is great and all, the leg room in the backseat and space in the trunk leaves much to be desired.  I really don't want to go without the AWD next car though, I've gotten spoiled.
  
  Me: I just want Subaru to come out with an AWD hybrid like the (Toyota hybrid) Prius, with a decent amount of road clearance (like the Subaru Outback), leg room like the Prius, *lots* of trunk room, and great mileage.
  
  Dh (in a knowingly smug tone):  Oh, you want a (Toyota) Highlander.
  
  Me: Crap.
  
  A Highlander hybrid is $35K+.  Which is just a smidge out of our price range.  Well, unless we win the lottery.  And even then, the Highlander hybrid doesn't get the mileage I'd prefer.  I believe the hybrid only gets 35mpg, when the regular Highlander gets 24ish mpg.  I much prefer the 50-60mpg that the Prius gets.
  Car makers who don't make what I want really annoy me.
  
  
  
  ETA:
  Ds's longies are almost finished!  Finally!  Then I can totally concentrate on the newborn wool.
  And we're getting a new garage door on Friday or early next week.  Home ownership is *fun.*
