It looks like something from Star Wars. I'd ask you to consider other SUV's. They Santa Fe's from Hyundai are the nicest ones that I've seen. The new Highlander is another ugly stick victim. Just my opinion. Take care, Replies to this message: ed111 (Aug 30, 2008 6:19 pm)

But, we're trying to find a vehicle with good off-road qualities and better-than-Jeep MPG. I don't think either the Santa Fe or the Highlander are particularly good off road, as they both lack low-range transmissions and locking differentials. And the electric motors on the Highlander Hybrid's rear wheels are a very poor match with off-road sand conditions.
