$2 extra?? I thought it goes by the size generally the SUV are large cars that is why the $2 extra.

When i take my Durango it is considered a midsize $1 extra. My friend's Tahoe is $2 extra.

the xB is so tiny, its the easiest car to dry. For God's sake the hood is half the size of any other car.

Go to another car wash and see if they charge the extra $2.

I think the whole world is confused of our ALIEN CAR

scion is a 5 door wagon. unibody chassis, under 2500 pounds, etc. the honda element is a truck based SUV because of it's weight and frame. totally different cars. i don't know how they keep getting compared to each other. the G500 has more in common with the scion than the element does. except for price, of course.

No kidding? I love USAA...they've been awesome for me, and I pay $120 a month...under 25 with a license suspension. Actually, I just turned 25 so it'll probably go down.

Just thought i would pass this along....

I called my insurance company today to cancel my Accent and i just recieved my renewal info from the insurance company ( Liberty Mutual ). To insure my Accent with 2 points on my lisence, was $1045 annually. L.M. says that the xB is a UTILITY VEHICLE; thankfully not SUV, and my insurance went up 100 bucks to $1150. Under 96 bucks a month to insure my xB for a year, nice.

The Honda Element, while much heavier than the xB, also has unit-body construction, not a truck style frame.

Unit-body? Or Unibody?
