    Well, to be fair, I think *most* vehicles have some usefulness. If I had a family with 4,5,6 kids and I wanted to go camping, an SUV (or even better, a good old fashioned station wagon) might be appropriate. My problem is when SUVs are used as single occupancy vehicles to ferry people the mile down the road to work, or take junior to school when he could be riding his bike. They're just overkill for most of the things people use them for.

    Yeah, I guess I don't like 'em.

    well... you're not alone.. i know there a LOT Of people that don't like them! (and i'm sure glad i didn't buy a hummer! *ducking*)

    i don't have kids.... but we do have two expensive bikes that needed protection from THIEVES! so we did trade in my car for an SUV.. err... bike hauler.. since we like to travel to organized rides (meaning 2-3 hour drive to get there then do the century/double metric/etc) so maybe you won't egg me or my vehicle! giggle!

    I completely agree. My parents loaded me and my four siblings around in a Dodge Coronet (4 door sedan, no A/C, etc.), so I don't understand why people with one or two kids need a huge SUV. No offense to anyone who owns an SUV, please, but in my opinion, the cars should have to subject to a premium tax and owners should have to get special drivers licenses to drive them.
