I hate SUV's Options

[ashes1850]

I just wanted to put it out there that I really hate SUV's and the gas that they suck up. Why would a person want to buy a car that gets like 10 mpg?

over in china they have a new car thats a cross between a van and a mini cooper and it gets 60mpg. They have laws about the dimensions and about minimum gas mileage. Why are we not following their lead? And the gov't wastes all their money and our money on technology to build a hybrid SUV which really does not exist as the electricity shuts off at about 40mph. So anyone who drives major roads uses up gas anyway. Unl;ess a family have like six children you don't need a big car. God forbid that children have to share the back of a sedan. Just getting those feelings off my chest.

^ I don't know a lot of people who drive suvs and dream of racing laguna seca......

meaning I'm sure people who drive these cars are fully aware of the limits of these cars. Given there are a few who are completly dumb and cannot drive for crap.

Ill be honest, I drive a small bmw coupe and whenever a suv comes up next to me my butt puckers up real good cuz I'm scared they will not see me and hit me but I'm not going to sit here and say I hate them. My mother drives a 4 runner but we do have a large family. My dad owns a dodge truck, which I like to drive in fact. But then again we do alot of outdoor activities so its use is justifiable.

Just because SUVs have a bad rap for rolling, or demolishing a small car in an accident doesnt make them bad....in fact if you used that logic for all cars, no one would drive anything.

No I dont want to buy that sports car because they go fast and they will cause accidents. No I don't want that toyota yaris becuase one hit and Im a sardine.

As a matter of fact when I have kids I already told my gf that she will not be driving anything smaller than a merc ml of gl suv. I know she can drive, better than any female I know so I feel safe giving her an suv.

All I'm saying is don't blame the car blame the driver
