[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate it. I don't even like the "small" SUVs. Everyone wants to drive around in a little mini-living room. I hate that 80% of the vehicles parked on my block these days are SUVs. It didn't used to be this way. It seems like the de facto choice for people with kids and/or dogs, and it's not necessary. Having one or two kids does not necessitate a Subaru Forrester or Honda CR-V.

Also, if you claim to care about the environment but you are purchasing a brand new, non-hybrid, non-electric SUV, you are full of it. Yes, these vehicles are not as gas guzzling as older model SUVs or the really enormous ones. They still use more gas than a smaller vehicle. And if you are using it for yourself or a small family of 3 or 4, you are allocating a lot of resources for your family to be moderately more comfortable. If you have to have a car (which I get -- we have to have a car too), you had lots of decent, more environmentally conscious, options, and you chose to get an SUV instead. You're a jerk.[/quote]

The CRV is, or at least used to be, built on the same frame as a Civic.  I get grumbling about huge vehicles, but you are essentially saying that people compact cars are too big, which is just silly.  [/quote]
