[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you search this site for past posts it seems there is a stigma attached to the black Suburban.

In this one their drivers are breeding, heavily-drinking, Catholic school parents who dream of a DE beach house:

Why is this? It seems like a nice, comfortable, capable car and one of the few non-minivan options if you have 3 kids or frequently need to drive ILs around.[/quote]

A Suburban is a body on frame truck platform vs the unibody of a minivan/ highlander/ pilot SUV.

They weigh almost 1 TON more than a minivan, with more horsepower and less fuel efficient engines.

Sure they are bigger, but we can fit our 3 kids and sports equipment in a sedan. In fact two sedans driving six kids is MORE EFFICIENT than one Suburban driving those same 6 kids and equipment.

If you still need to carpool with all 6, get a normal size minivan or SUV and install a hitch cargo tray and water proof bag — even better keep the awful smelling sports equipment and mud outside of the passenger cabin.

People buy it for status, but it’s wasteful and completely unnecessary.

Oh and people who buy pickup trucks to commute to an office job, yes we hold them in contempt too. [/quote]

1. Minivans suck. 
2. No way anyone is stuffing 3 across in the backseat of a midsize sedan. 
3. Look at the cavernous cargo space when the third row is folded up in a "normal-sized" SUV:

Minivans suck because chicks won't look at you if you're driving one?  You ain't getting laid either way, pal.  Minivans get better gas mileage, they have more cargo room (look it up), they're easier to park, and they're more affordable.  The Yukons/Expeditions/Escalades are for delusional chumps.[/quote]

Yup - we get 3 across in our sedan all the time.  Even drove back and forth to the beach this summer with one of DS friends in the back and a full load of luggage.

It was fine.

No one needs these oversized tanks - they are for insecure people trying to prove something and it won't help your kid to make the Gonzaga or St Johns lacrosse team nor will you need to haul the team should he actually make it.[/quote]
