Um, no. sThey pass all the same vehicle standards as every other passenger vehicle. Now drivers are another story.

There are about 40,000 dead people per year in the space between "passes standards" and "isn't dangerous."

So you're naturally in favor of banning ALL cars then, right?

Or are you willing to accept a certain number of deaths a year if it allows you to keep your Prius?

I am not willing to accept any number of deaths a year, and I don't own a Prius. How many traffic deaths a year are you willing to accept?

Break it down by car so we can vote.

How many traffic deaths a year are you willing to accept?

A minivan is actually better for that, with the sliding doors. I can fit 7 kids in mine, plus me. You don't need a land yacht to carpool.

Speak for your self. We DIY our house a lot and we need an SUV for tools and supplies. If you aren't ever DIYing, going camping, or much else but driving to your luxury hotel or airplane it makes sense but some of us actually use ours.

Oh god we do all of that stuff too, comfortably, with a station wagon.

Home Depot delivers in case you weren't aware though we've used it once in the last 5 years.

Also we actually go backpacking as opposed to being lazy and going car camping (or in your case tank camping) so since everyone has to carry their own gear they only bring what they need which comfortably fits in our car.

You think you are macho & superior because you drive a gas guzzling SUV and of course that's what the car commercials tell you you are but in reality you are just insecure and too lazy to carry your own $hit.

But hey freedom and burning continents and all that justify it no doubt.

Their Tahoe likely gets the exact same mileage on the highway as your Outback. I've owned both.

And when you consider that the Tahoe has a larger 5.3L V8 compared to the Outback's smaller 2.5L-3.6L H4 or H6, and weighs about 1,500lbs more, the Tahoe is actually a MUCH more efficient vehicle for its size.

If the Subaru were as efficient as the Tahoe is, it would get 45+ mpg, instead of the 20-22 it gets.

Not to mention that I’d need to put TWO Subaru’s on the road to get my wife and five kids to our destination.

And if you weren't insecure and raising coddled kids who can't carry a beach bag a block you'd comfortably fit everyone into a mini-van.

But that wouldn't be macho or prove your bona fides as a provider.

I’m a grandmother who drives a large SUV because many times, DH and I have all 4 grandkids who need car seats. Everyone needs to mind their own business. Too bad if you can’t afford to be comfortable. I’d rather have my old Lexus sedan, but no can do with grand babies.

Again, a minivan would be much easier for this. Wouldn't it be better for your grandchildren's future on this planet if you drove something with better gas mileage?

You have five kids? And you frequently tow a trailer? A trailer for what?

Yes - Boat, horses and a camper.

What percentage of families have 5!!! children, and horses, and a boat, and a trailer? 1 in 5000? We have 3 kids and know a lot of families and we do not know one family with 5 kids, or horses, or a boat.
And we live in the exurbs.

We also have 3 kids and I do not know one family with five children. Or horses. Or a boat.

I know a family with 5 children. I know a family with a boat. I know a family with horses. But I don't know any families with 5 children AND a boat AND horses. (Actually, I don't even know any families with 5 children and a boat, or a boat and horses, or 5 children and horses.)

If that's the market for Suburbans, it's not a very big market.
