I don't know how to upload pictures. So go look at the GMC Acadia, and the Ford Taurus X. Also the Mercedes Benz R-class. And all but the Benz gets better mileage. But we get your point.
Another alternative: Just rented a Mazda 5 and was shocked by the amount of room and versatility (Chrysler stole the in-seat cushion compartments from Mazda). I would say it had more room than the Journey despite being 10 inches shorter. Gas mileage was better, too.

As a matter of fact, you can get a Mazda5 for $18k.

The Taurus x yes. As for the others, I'd be perfectly willing to pay 10 grand more for a much nicer, more efficient, more spacious car (the Acadia). Oh yeah, and for 18k you won't get a new journey with a third row, either.

I don't know anything about the Tarus X or the Mercedes R, but I have heard and read a lot of feedback on the Acadia. Go to the Acadia forum under real world gas mileage. Most of the posters can't get over 15-16. Also, I just read that GMC will most likely not get a 2nd gen Acadia. Wrong move. Although too large for my needs, it was the best of the 3 (or 4, or 5 or...) lambdas. Bad move , GM.

Umm Taurus X YES. It was just a breif comparison, and the Ford clearly wins out.

I've heard that, and I've heard much higher- as much as a combined average of 22. 15-16 is what everyone says the Journey gets. though it is sad it's being discontinued.

We were comparing functionality, and no Journey fan should speak about styling. The Journey is a plain wagon. Now let's get to a real argument.
