he did go back to dealer to have a roof rack put on--- and was told- its not available for the hybrid. (aerodynamics Im guessing)... so he cant carry his kayak on it. Want to carry the baby jogger (the special 3 wheel kind for runners).. and that means you need to remove stuff from the back- (meaning his response gear)- and get creative with passengers/cargo..... On my traverse- fold down the 3rd row. fill it up with cargo- you still have the...

I posted in a thread a few days ago about the resale value on my Saturn...

Can't ya just ride them in back of the pickupp trukk?

Picked up my 09 Vue yesterday from the dealership. I was thinking about getting a new Vue to replace my 03 but then the deal fell in my lap and couldn't resist. Too bad this current generation of Vue is heading off into the abyss, cause it's a really nice cuv. Light years ahead of my 03 and really much better than many others on the market now.
