It looks alright...I can't get a feel for how big it is with nothing to compare it to though.

Hmmm...looks a little similar to the Xterra. I like it okay.

Has anyone checked out any of the new crossovers? I like how practical they are in terms of fuel economy-- and they're just a little smaller than SUV's.




Thoughts? I like the Journey-- it has a lot of cool interior features like myGig, Sirius and even a built in cooler. (The first pic is a shot of it from the Chicago Auto Show).

A colleague of mine just bought a Nissan Qashqai and says it drives like a small car but has the visibility of a much larger car....

Actually, he's referring to the BMW X6.

At least I think it's the X6.

That's definitely the appeal-- you get a SUV-like car with great gas mileage.

The Journey gets 16-19 mpg city, and 23-24 mpg highway.


I think it looks pretty cool too-- I like the crosshair grille. Gives it a sporty look, imo.

Lots of nice car huh! I'm one of the Ford fanatic. My <Link Removed> are excellent. I have a great time when I'm driving my car.
