My sister just bought a Honda Element. She has two German Shepards and the Element allows her to have both large crates in the back side by side. She also likes the fact that the seats and floor are hard plastic instead of fabric. Tara (the 13yr old GSD) gets carsick on occasion and she literally was able hose the inside of the car out. She also likes the fact that the back seats will either fold down or remove completely.
