[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's super tiny, like the Volvo XC40. Going to be empty nesters in June, so don't need a big SUV anymore.

Why would you need an SUV in the first place? going offroadin'? A sedan does the same job. Plus SUV kills more people every year.

Better storage.  Some of us DIY our houses and you cannot get anything into a car trunk.  It does not do the same job.[/quote]

That's why you have wagons.....although everyone's lust for SUVs has caused manufacturers to ditch most of their wagon offerings.[/quote]

Because wagons are hideous.[/quote]

You do realize that an SUV in many cases are just a wagons which have been raised an inch, added some cladding to it and voila...its an SUV (and not a wagon). A raised price tag also as you're paying for more metal without getting any extra interior room or benefits (not always but e.g. VW Sportwagen and VW All-Track is the same car. Same with Subaru Outback and Subaru Legacy Wagon......latter which is not sold in the US). Kinda like telling yourself that Superman is a much nicer person than Clark Kent.  ;-)

We test drove a wagon and our SUV. The wagon had considerably less trunk space due to the hatchback and more blind spots trying to see out the back. [/quote]
