This suv craze confuses me...I understand if you have a family and need to tow something..okay, Sequoia, 4Runner, Tacoma...but most don't... They buy the biggest thing out there... When gas prices go up I really hope people can afford the mpg...hence why I bought a small economy car.
Edit: I'm just confused as to why people buy really big vehicles...herd mentality? Safer in a crash? IDK?
I rented a vehicle last year for a week during my trip to the Rocky Mountains in Alberta. I've mentioned that like 5 times haha. The car rental place offered me a free vehicle upgrade. So I went from economy car to an SUV...2019 Hyundai Santa Fe.. A good- sized SUV. And it was very roomy compared to my Mirage, (I'm 6'2 with boots on) and you sit up higher, got the leg room, and it is safer in a crash.
Probably more boring to drive than my Mirage if you owned one. But I get their appeal.
