<< THANK YOU. Another sound mind in this discussion. It seems that people hate SUV's for all the wrong reason. When's the last time that you saw a Civic with 5 people in it, an Accord with 5 people in it, a minivan filled to capacity, or a pickup truck with three people sitting on the bench seat?? How dare you dis SUV drivers when I rarely see cars filled to capacity.
No one rags on big BMW's and big Mercedes' for poor gas mileage. Ohh, and let's not dis pickups for their bad gas mileage and bulk. Those big ass long-wheelbase pickups weight just as much as the largest SUV's. >>
NFS4, the king of "hear only what I want to hear".
You guys have totally missed the boat. As some have stated, most SUV-haters dislike the fact that people buy SUV's AS COMMUTER CARS. Not very many people buy trucks or minivans as plain consumers. No single person, or even couples, go out and say, "hey, I think I'll buy a minivan!" Naw, they go, "Wo0t, I'm cool, I'm hip, I'm getting an sUv, bayyyyyyyyyyy-be!" And them most SUV's are junked before they get to the low-end of affordability, whereas minivans are often readily available in decent condition, cheap.
Oh, did you miss my facts about SUV's being looped out of the gas guzzler laws?
And did you miss the high profit margin? Yes, it is your money. A fool and his money are quickly parted. <nelson>ha-ha</nelson>.
