[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids and have literally never needed a bigger car than my sedan. What a waste. I wish our cars were more like what you see in Europe.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

Umm no the Tahoe gets 22MPG on the highway and the Outback 33MPG so no not even close.  And what do you need a V8 for - are you hauling a horse trailer along with your 5 lazy kids?

In any case I don't have a Subaru which doesn't get great mileage either - my wagon gets about 40MPG on the highway and comfortably fits my family and all the stuff we need when we go on vacation.

I actually pity people who lack the perspective and will to break free of marketing and their insecurities about their place and status.  Unfortunately these same tools are causing us to kill our planet with their rampant and excessive consumerism.  But they look cool sitting in traffic in their V8![/quote]
