Volvo had a cool commercial a few years ago, featuring the wagons they were campaigning in some roadracing series. They initially showed the cars only from the front, and eventually it became apparent that these were Volvo wagons being beautifully tossed around among a bunch of sports sedans. I think it helped to dispel the notion of their being safe, bland, soccer-mom cars to some degree.

I've never owned one, but I have friends who do, and they always appear to me to be a perfect bass hauler. When you open the back lid, it seems to have almost the same space and ease of access that my pickup truck has. I think you could haul sheets of plywood in those things.

Cool 2004 Nissan Titan King Cab Bass Hauler!

http://www.autointell.com/asian_comp...n-titan-03.htm

Mine is Galaxy Black! Like this one:
http://www.titantalk.com/forums/tita...al-purple.html

5.6-liter double overhead cam V8
305 horsepower
379 lb-ft of torque
weighs nearly 5,000 pounds
Fuel economy isn't great - 14 mpg city/19 mpg highway - but for the size of the vehicle it isn't too bad.
It does hurt to fill the 28-gallon fuel tank at today's prices

The Rockford Fossgate sound system subwoofers condition my double bass as it rides in my reclined passenger seat with the scroll straight back!

Honda Odyssey & Toyota Sienna both have over 250 hp and room for all your basses and gear.

I'm sticking with my '86 VW Vanagon Weekender; 85 hp, sleeps 4 & room for lots of instruments, albeit in the slow lane.
