Here's some real math: How many Fits fit in the cost of one V10 Touareg?
When I make a beer run, I have been known to fill up a Chevy 3500 van and I for one, love the V10 Touareg, a friend had one, but with the Short wheel base, not sure how stable it would be towing a 24' to 30' enclosed trailer. To me, my big ugly burb is a tool, as my track car has glass body work & lexan glass, and no door glass, when I'm moving stuff around, I need something not only big enough to tow & stop, but to store things in too

Why is it that some people feel that it is up to them to chose what others drive, why are these same people, typically liberals So much for freedom of choice

And the QE2 was retired two months ago...

...but that can't be because of its gas mileage...

Yup, I believe so. If it were me I probably would have bought an Odyssey, I liked the extra power and size. But it's the wifey's car, and she liked the styling of the MPV. Overall it was a good choice.

Our SUV was worse because it was a total pig. Our SRX did 18 MPG hwy on premium. Ouch. Pretty sad, because my old 5.3L 2000 Silverado would get 20 MPG hwy.
