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.

And as far as the argument goes. SUVs and Trucks,to use them as a daily drivers is stupid and here is why.

1. They use a lot of gas no matter how you slice it, therefore making the need for gas higher,therefore making gas prices rise ,thus effecting everyone in the US because big cars are more so in America then anywhere else,grant you that's not the only reason they rise and you can also include cars like Mustangs but mostly SUVs and Trucks, but it helps. the bigger the demand the higher the price, and before you argue that, think about how many people drive big Vehicles, then realize thats just a fraction of the actual number. when you look at it that way it becomes a factor in gas prices. Thus effecting everyone.

2. They are big. Big cars are harder to drive. and i don't care what kinda of things are done to make it stable, you get it going and it will go. My Ex girlfriend roller her 2001 Ford Expedition because she was going the speed limit around a turn and had to turn sharply to avoid hitting a stalled car. at the time it was a new car. I'm sure that they have made some advances since then but not that much. Also,Personal choice should end if you are 5'5 and drive a HUMMER. Your to small. and even if you can see over the wheel, there should be a Driving class like 18Wheeler drivers have to take to learn on how to drive them. Because most people don't know how.

If you need it. Fine. drive it. its worth the issues they come with. But otherwise i don't believe they should be a daily driver, because of these reasons. but that's just me.
