Id get one ASAP. My dad just picked up a 2013 LTZ black diamond edition for about $15k off the sticker. Dont wait, who knows what front wheel drive based, wankerific CUV thing GM might bring out next. There are no real alternatives to the Avy, the Ridgeline is a nice little truck, but it wont tow, haul or have the interior space and luxury anywhere near the Avy. Id say look into a 1/2 ton Ford or GM, the 2014 models are really, really well done and very cushy. I was very surprised to see that they were stopping production on the Avy as they are very popular around here.
