Word gets out fast. I wanted it to be a surprise.
 
You dog! You're pretty well connected, eh?

No, that's OK.
 
It's hard to keep it a secret anyway. I was dying to say something, to be honest. I just thought it would be funny to pull up to Bob's driveway in the new one.

And here I thought I was going to shock everyone and get a Highlander before Juice. Then Dra started dragging her feet with the PZEV issue. So who knows what's going to happen. I wonder why the PZEV gets identical power output in the OB/Leg but gains 5hp in the Forester.???

No idea, but it was a selling point for us. Even without the extra power. It's only something like $200 extra, definitely worth it.
 
PZEV models also carry a longer emissions warranty in 8 or 10 states that require them, so hopefully that equipment is more durable as well.

"Check out the article here: The Frugal Five. "
 
But fuel economy it's not really great. The 20 MPG in city is most driving people do, so in real world it will be 18-19 MPG. Where at same time my Acadia get me in city and in traffic 85% about 17-18 mpg. So where is benefit to buy small SUV?

I'm not sure how you can say that people "real-world" will get lower that EPA in these small CUVs but you in the real-world get better than EPA.
 
If you get over EPA estimates in your Acadia, you likely would in a small CUV as well.
 
What world are you living in? Haha.

You know better than that now grad! Everyone now knows, thanks to one or two owners on this thread, that the Lamdas can drive on (not in) water therefore they can get better fuel mileage due to the decrease in rolling friction the water provides.
 
Haven't you read the Bible?

I just did a 1500 km weekend trip with the family - 3 kids. I have a Freestyle and Saab 9-5 - guess which one I took? And I paid $1.43/litre for gas ($5.41/usgal) - . I could have taken my Volvo which gets better mileage than both.

How about purchase price? You'll save thousands buying the smaller SUVs and that will buy a lot of gas
