I am so glad to be back in a class B! I made the mistake of trading my 2007 Roadtrek SS Agile for a 2011 Winnebago View 24J--lots more room, slide-out, etc. I hated it!! Tried to sell it for months--only got low-ball offers. I finally decided to trade it and take the loss, instead of looking at the View in the driveway knowing that if I had a class B, I could take it to Costco or Montana and park it almost anywhere! So, I found a 2012 Roadtrek SS Agile at a dealer that gave me a decent deal. I drove 550 miles to Lakeland, Florida, and picked it up Wednesday. I love it!

Welcome back!! If you weren't happy, then nothing in the world was going to change that, unless you made the switch back. We have an '05 RT190P, and you couldn't pry it out of my hands until I pass on. We like being able to pull into any shopping center, I can turn on the genny and make coffee and read, while the wife shops. Seems you never have to worry where you are going to park come nightfall....you can't with the big boys. Happy roads and safe travels.

Congratulations! We bought a '12 Agile in December and really have enjoyed the ability to park in regular parking spaces while having amenities. Enjoy!

Just looking around a bit, it looks like the higher mileage will be with a standard 4 cylinder engine and new 7 speed transmission. The V6 with the 5 speed transmission will be optional. The didn't give any hp or torque specs on the 4 cylinder, but if it is like most European stuff, it won't be very powerful, compared to what we in the US are used to. With a maxed out B, it might well be severely underpowered, making most of the mileage gains go away. Not much use for a seven speed, if it is always downshifted because of lack of hp.
I saw several references that said the 4 wheel drive will be so expensive, it is likely it won't be imported to the US.

I was reading a review on Edmunds regarding the 30 mpg and 4WD.
I will need to use my B for business in all 4 seasons so that is why I am interested in the 4 WD option.
As mentioned above, it may not happen.
