Ok, I wont say anything about american or foriegn, theyre all pretty good. I bought a honda element, wierd looking, but it gets 27-30 miles to the gallon and it is 4 wheel drive. The back seats come out and you can hose the interior out. I put three deer in the back and checked them in at the ranger station, washed the blood out and put the seats back in. It wont tow much, but it is sensible and a good outdoor car. You can camp in it as well. EJ
