It's the soccer mom treadmill.

Station Wagons -> Minivans -> SUVs

What's next? I hope we loop around back to station wagons.

Why? I know SW handle better, but who cares. Modern familys handle plenty well.

  • The taller the car the less safe it is for everyone around it.

    And I rented an SUV once and was surprised by how small it was on the inside compared to the outside. Seemed way less practical than it could have been.

    • They are tall for ground clearance. Fantastic if you deal with a lot of off road situations. Like all other things discussed in this thread, it is underutilized.

      Still, I prefer driving a awd suv in winter if I am at risk of being in a snowstorm.
