 I always wanted a Tribute but I like the 2006 exterior better than the 2008.  The 2008 looks too much like a box.  I really like the exterior look of the 2007 Honda CRV, but I like the interior of the Tribute.  I made the purchase because it was the best deal for the money.  I like the feel of sitting high and seeing far in front me.  I don't have 4WD and sometimes it feels like the car skids or sways if I'm traveling at a high speed and need to come to a sudden stop.  This makes me a little nervous.  It's not too bad on gas either. It's really growing on me.
