What do you drive to the lake?

The ability to carry six people and not give up cargo space is a monumental task with today's vehicles. Third row seating options are usually cramped, some are a complete joke and all turn what would be cargo area into seating room. Other than buying a very large SUV or full sized passenger van there is just no way to get 6 people PLUS cargo down the road.

Of course that sort of defeats the I don't want a driver that gets crumby gas mileage. Think you're kind of screwed!

This is why the Odyssey comes in. Very easy access and not cramped in the 3rd row. You can use the cargo rack on top for luggage and 'stuff'.

What do I drive to the lake? My wife, and once we're there I drive her crazy.
