Motorcyclists have been getting pushed around by cagers while getting "holier than thou" mpg for over a hundred years. This isnt just a new SUV fad, its human nature.
DONT COMPLAIN YOUR GETTING IT REALLY CHEAP BUT DONT REALISE IT......NO WONDER THEY CALL IT RIP OF BRITAIN
- People feel safer driving an SUV This is true.
- People feel the only other option to an SUV is a minivan and neither men nor women care for the domestic image a minivan projects Plus they are ugly. :tongue:
- People in northern climes like to have AWD True
- You can see more of the road in an SUV This is a huge advantage!
- Gas was cheap when SUVs became popular[/quote]True
U wanna try driving round central London.Oooo that sounds sweet! Did I mention I am a car queen as well. :wink:the streets are narrow, the road systems are stupid and everyone drives bloody SUVs! Why? It always seems to be mothers taking their kids to school as well :-s dunno why. And they're SO bad for the environment. tbh, so are most standard american cars though. they most have HUGE engines. like camaros, 5.2 litres? wtf? *leaves quickly before hate mail arrives* [/quote] We need bigger engines because our country is bigger and we live farther apart. :tongue::biggrin1:
They are cute! I'm 5'8"and cannot fit comfortably in one of the Saturns or the Corvette Convertible.'Wish I could fit in a Mini Cooper (I'm 6'2"). I love those little cars!I can get into it easily with the top down. :smile: With the top up is a different matter. Getting out of it I look and feel like I am getting out of a clown car.
:biggrin1:
I agree, It's not like you can fit them and their stuff in a station wagon. Especially since few companies make wagons any more and the ones that do have cut their size so that they are of little to no use.I don't like them persay, but when you have a family of 6, it's a necessary evil.
granted, but in the UK, when you have a family of mum, dad, and one bambino, a SUV becomes a necessary evil: ROTFLMAO three people does not warrant need of an SUV!! Unless you show St. Bernards and Afghan Hounds in your spare time you need to come up with a nother excuse/reason for owning an SUV. :biggrin1::tongue:
In the 1990s -> I need a Landcruiser.
:tongue: Incorrect I think I am going to get an Audi A5 3 litre turbo diesel. 0 - 60 in six seconds, restricted to 155 mph and will do 50 mpg on the open road.I don't know. I thought it was illegal to have a car that did more than 25 mpg in the States. :smile:![]()
I resist, I love my Golf, it kicks ass, and drives a fucking dream. Also, with petrol now costing over £1 a litre, I just couldn't afford it.
'Wish I could fit in a Mini Cooper (I'm 6'2"). I love those little cars!
You are so right!SUVs are an especially ugly symptom of a much bigger problem: America's resistance to decent, cheap, efficient, convenient public transportation.
