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.

It's called freedom..freedom of choice, something my south neighbors seems to be very proud of.

EDIT : If any of you guys frequently go on autoblog, it's disapointing how many people think that automaticaly taxing certain vehicle because of emission, gas mileage / size of vehicle screams automatically "communism or socialism", as if everything is fine as it is and "FREEDOM" should never been walked on no matter what the drive is (like environmental causes).
Selfish eh.

We're all doomed, I'm here to enjoy the ride and get in debts! woohoo!


I remember correctly an argument that made my chuckle inside...

One commenter said exactly what you said, why people rides SUVs and theres only 1 person inside most of the time?
The guy right under said "Well I NEED an SUV, I'm pretty sure your corollas and civic's can't put my yacht down the marina riiiiight?"
The guy replied, which I applaud for, "I see you certain NEED a YACHT RIGHT?"

lol @ people

if its about freedom of choice than they are making a poor decision. when your choice uses up all the gas like 20 years sooner its going to be problem. You go to europe and seeing an suv is really unusual because the people there get it. Gas is about 6 dollars a gallon so they all drive smart cars and it seems like a good use of freedom. Americans on the whole care more bout what the car looks like than the efficiency of it.

Run out of gas??? Gas is one of the most abundant resources in the world. It'll take a lot to run out of gas and oil. Will we ever run out of gas? Eventually but not anytime within the century most likely and not anytime soon. Gas prices are not going up because we're running out of gas.

I have not read all or the post nor do i care to but i figured there are a lot of replies so i might as well. I have a lifted 95 jeep grand Cherokee, my celica, and an 01 Tahoe. drive the tahoe in the winter, celica in the summer and the jeep whenever i feel like. What bothers me the most is when somebody voices their opinion, then fails to leave it at that, we all have opinions, don't try to tell me im wrong or that you are better, or this or that,we are who we are life is to short to bicker. enjoy yourself

Dam right. You live once...people can get whatever they want. If the DRIVER is a douche, then thats a different story. But there are bad drivers that own sports cars, minivans, SUVS, luxury cars and yes people...even Toyotas
