Still looking for the ideal ride. Thinking about other vehicles, as well. Land Rover 90 or 110 with TDI engine (mid to upper 20 mpg), VW Rabbit diesel pickup (40+ mpg), and any other diesel. The Cruze diesel sounds very nice, but it's 2 years out. Diesel is pushing $4/gallon and gasoline is only 40 cents behind.

I'm at 3K+ miles and still love the JSW. Fits all my stuff (significantly more than a Prius will carry, or my old WRX or GTI) and I'm getting typically mid 30s mpg in combined driving. Perhaps more importantly, I find it to be a great driving environment. Just better design/fit/finish than the Japanese car equivalents. VW/Audi just makes a better interior to my eye and butt. Ymmv.
