My wife and I finally decided we need a second vehicle. Since the
birth of our daughter, it has become obvious that a Corolla is
no way to cart a kid around ( infant car seats are not that tiny ).
We have been out of the car market for over 5 years, so we haven't
kept up with developments. We would appreciate hearing any comments
regarding pros and cons of station wagons vs mini-vans. There are
no plans to cart around Girl Scout Troops in the future; we'd
just like to have something with plenty of room for a change.
RVs are out of the question because they don't fit into a standard
garage. One of my brothers sez I should buy a Ford (Country Squire?).
I don't mind a 9-passenger wagon ( do they still make those ) and
we're not adverse to something in the $12-15K price range
(is that what these things cost now?). Something with a non-automatic
transmission would be nice (never did trust those automatics).

Any mailed responses will be summarized and posted. Feel free to
followup or flame, everybody else does it.
