Can we have one thread where we don't talk about Obama?
Some of you people need to lighten up- sheesh. Economy cars suck- period. You can't haul friends and your dog in one up to the mountains. You can't tow a trailer or a boat, or bring home new furniture.
The SUV signifies everything that is great about America. It matters not the vehicle, but the driver in it when it comes to fuel economy, safety, etc.
I see a lot of generalizations about SUV drivers- why aren't you guys complaining about black people? When I go into town I see them driving 76 Chevys with 24 inch wheels- what kind of fuel economy are they getting? They never upgrade the brakes either so you know they can't stop. Imagine the pollution too!
You don't complain and stereotype because you aren't jealous of them.
Shoot- I just saw on Top Gear last night an M3 followed a Prius around the track for 10 laps. The M3 got 2 mpg BETTER than the Prius.
Some of you guys need to get with the program- if you want a world where other people can judge you and determine how large of a car you NEED, the next step is to tell you how fast (slow) a car you NEED.
If Lamborghinis were cheap we'd all be driving them and they get 12 mpg so suck it.
