[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just another incredibly stupid, massively oversized vehicle that is killing the planet, killing people, causing traffic, and drives terribly. Really, really stupid car, and you a premium to drive that craptacular POS.[/quote]

Might be true if just driving one or two people to the store, but most huge SUVs are hauling a lot of folks or animals or both. Otherwise would need multiple vehicles.[/quote]

That’s such a stupid myth. 99% of the idiots driving these massively stupid cars go to the grocery store and target between their soccer practices and going to their office jobs. The car industry sells propaganda to idiot Americans to convince them they need these ridiculously stupid vehicles because the profit margins are better.  That’s because they’re exempt from regulations and additional safety testing since they’re classified as ‘light trucks’.  A portion of these are sold to idiots in the burbs who drive them all around cities and take up way more space than is needed.  A minivan or a station wagon is way, way more practical if you need to haul stuff or a family anyway.[/quote]

The density of large vehicles in cities is far less than in the suburbs, exurbs, and rural areas.  I know because I’m in all 4 routinely.

The Wagoneer competes with the Lexus570/Land Cruiser, FJ Cruiser, Sequoia, Defender set.  They are niche, high priced products with vintage appeal.  They don’t belong in the city.  I have a late model Land Cruiser that stays in the country full time.  I see some Defenders in Georgetown (the smallest of my list).  But I rarely see the others in the city.  I also rarely see Tahoes and Suburbans in the city.

But, there are a ton of people who use the capacity of minivan but don’t want a minivan.  The Tahoe/Suburban makes a lot of sense for families with 2-3 kids in multiple activities that may also go camping, or drive cub scouts around etc.   most other SUVs you can either carry stuff or you can carry people… you can’t carry both.

Just because that’s not your lifestyle doesn’t make it “bad”.  I know a ton of people who use the size of their large SUVs… just bc you see them at target doesn’t mean they don’t drive to a lake with all their fishing gear, a cooler on their hitch shelf, and 5 people to go fishing for a weekend.  They may drive a car pool to school 3 days a week.

It actually does make it bad. Denying it doesn’t change that. [/quote]

It’s time to go back to 6th grade and sort statements between opinion and fact.
