I bought the Saturn Hybrid
Dealership called me back with an offer too good to refuse. 2500 under sticker and 1000 under blue book, when all's told.

Thanks to everyone who helped me make an informed decision this morning. The Lounge rocks! No thanks to my exwife for ruining my credit until this last year.

FUCK YEAH!!!1

2. The 07 Vue gets...
32 mpg. I've read this isn't necessarily correct though since based on your driving habits you can get it up to 36 or as low as 22. I drive like an old man so it's all good.

3. I shouldn't 'one up', but...
I got the Prius up to 50.2 mpg on a trip into town today.
Hypermiling.

Sticker says 46 in town.

4. Prius's don't seem to mix with 90 lb German Shepherds
Haydes wouldn't fit well in a Prius. His paws are the size of your steering wheel.

Believe me, I'd much rather have a Honda Insight and get 80 + to the gallon. I'm over funding wars on oil.

5. All you do is flip the back seats down.
PUHLENTY of room.
;-)
We had Shepherds for 30 years.
One after the other.
I love them.
Smartest canines ever.

10. I don't know.
My sister's Shepherd is as sweet as a dog can be, but as dumb as a rock. :D

9. I love my Saturn L200
It's a 2003 and gets 30 mpg. I think the manual trans helps it get better mileage. Good luck with yours!
