      That would make sense if we all lived in a country the size of a postage stamp like you do.

      Distances in Australia are measured in hours or days travelled and hundreds or thousands of kilometres. I could easily drive 1000 kilometres on an average weekend away, of that say 200 kilometres or more off road.

      You have no real idea what a big empty country this is.

      Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

        If you drive off road then get a proper off roader. If you need to carry lots of people get a people carrier. Fair enough.

        If you live in a city and as your day to day car one of those crappy 'sporty' 4wd things that would die off road and are totally uneconomical around town then you should probably be shot.

                We have two smaller sized SUVs. Honda passport, jeep sport. 15 mpg in the city and 20 on the highway. We bought a house close to our jobs so are commuting distance is neglible. In Chicago it's nice to have vehicles that can handle the winters. One winter my wife's civic was totalled because she couldn't get out of the way of an idiot. She was hospitalized. She replaced it with the jeep sport. She will never switch back.
                I like the ability to haul around construction materials. When we vacation in northern wisconsin, and SUV is the only way to go.
                So I don't care what anybody else thinks, the safety of my family is more important to me. And the other capabilites fit our life style. DEAL WITH IT.

                I've been in many accidents in winter. Only one was my fault. All of them were in non-SUVs.

                    10 years from now if I'm working in the architectural field or thereabouts I'll be making pretty decent money, so I'm not too worried about cost.
                    What? The architectural field does not pay decent money!

                    Other things may use petroleum, but transportation is the single biggest user of petroleum.

                    Disregard the energy issue for a moment though. Let's say that new technologies allow for fusion-powered cars that run on water with no emissions. Would SUVs still be as evil as they are?

                      Gas Hogs, Big, garish, and ugly, Can't see around 'em in traffic, handle like a constipated mule, Roll over in a stiff breeze, terrible braking, People that drive em have compensation issues...

                      SUV's suck. If you're in snow, front-wheel is just as good in a tight spot, and better in braking situations.

                        Not for entry level jobs, or working for the big firms. Otherwise, If you're registered, have contacts and a constant job trickle you can do pretty well.

                        BTW, my next car should be an SUV.
                        Though the one I have now is too comfy to let go.

                            The higher ground clearance it what make them better than front wheel drive cars in the snow. Both of mine are no bigger than mini-vans.

                              I have a metrocard.

                              No SUV has as much room, is as safe, or uses less gasoline than the subway.

                                OK, now why do you need not one but 2 SUVs?
