Just traded my second 'Ru for a Prius this spring. Which has as much cargo space length/width-wise as the Outback/Legacy (although not as deep) - one bicycle goes in the back without taking the wheel off or anything. Although the Prius's gas mileage is disappointing based on the advertising, it's double what the Outback used to get.

I loved the Subarus (my sister still drives my old '98), but now that we aren't in snow country navigating our steep gravel driveway in the winter any more, there was no way I could justify the s*cky gas mileage they get. A Subaru rep told me in spring '06 they were supposed to have a hybrid for '07... that model year has come and gone, and there's been no announcement for an '08 hybrid, either. I really wanted another 'Ru.
