SUV - the new minivan


Posted by Picasa

This is exactly why i won't be buying an SUV soon. I think it's brilliant how SUV's have been marketed as these rugged tough vehicles when all they are is a spruced up minivan. Now of course there are exceptions to the rule, some Jeeps. Well, not many exceptions I guess. But in any case, why do i want to buy a new version of a minivan and pay a ton of money for it because it looks a little sportier. It's still a minivan! I can barely tell the difference between these two. The Lexus is by far the worst sporty minivan as you can see, it has no SUV qualities at all. Hardly something you would want to take "off road". The SUV is a great soccer mom vehicle however. No doubt about that. You have to admit it is funny how many people have been fooled by this scheme though. Actually thinking they own an SUV. Hahahahahaha.

actually now that i think about it, the new Lexus almost looks like a new version of the station wagon as well. Wow.

i used to find it difficult to keep myself from keying every H2 i came across. now i find it difficult to supress laughter every time i think about their fuel costs. the chickens are finally coming home to roost.

Your right but I think SUV's are to protect manhood. Have you ever seen those poor guys hauling around 3 kids in the minivan. They need something to spice up the drive to the childcare, school, and practice. How about a manly not minivan but SUV! to haul them around?

i hate SUV's...i'm with jeff on this one. i hate getting into SUVs that are driven by people with multiple kids. There is an entire breakfast feast on the groud. Seriously, more room means more crap just sitting around in the vehicle.

i agree 100% with you about suvs being nothing more than expensive minivans. i also find it a bit scary that we have given these soccer moms, who can't drive to save their life, big, bulkier vehicles to ride around in. its like a bunch of retards in military tanks. the roads just aren't safe anymore. yeah...i said it. soccer moms can't drive.

i got into a discussion about this with my mom; she said she felt sorry for people that had to spend $90 for a full tank of gas. I told her that if you but $90 worth of gas and it doesn't last you nearly a month, you deserve it. That much money would fill my gas tank 3 times.

Wow! I had no idea so many people thought the same thing. Funny stuff Bill. That really made Kelli and I laugh.
