Nissan Frontier crew-cab pickup... Pre-installed adjustable slides in the bed for holding tanks, BCs, mesh bags of gear... anything (don't have a need for a bed cover, unless you're worried your scuba gear is going to get *wet*). Bed extender divides gear up (or extends the bed, of course)... Tows my SeaRay... Gets 20mpg... Holds 5 adults... Rear tinted windows for changing in the back seat (if you need to)... Utility of a pickup, but drives like a car... Runs and runs and runs and runs...
What is the perfect SCUBA car?

My divebuggy (till I could find a buyer) when I was living down in the keys:
Lamborghini LM002 American
It's a long story involving a rather crazy foreigh restauranteur who couldn't pay his bills.
The amphicars were (are) cute, but they were (are) neither a very good car nor a very good boat, sort of the worst of both worlds. Get a Bison!

For me I want to suggest a 1ton diesel truck crew cab. 4WD on at least 35s. There is plenty room for several people and also big enough to pull a good size boat.
without kids, my Nissan Pathfinder was the perfect "car". You can put on and take off your gear while standing up. Since I have 2 kids now, the best deal is a van, like my Pontiac Montana, a little lower but I can bring all my gear even on family vacations

2003 Ford Crown Vic. Mileage is ok. Space for gear is marginal. But the light bar and siren make it the quickest way to the water I've found.
