But, I DO hate SUV's. They suck. Sometimes they are necessary and convenient, but not all the time. Which is why if we have one, it would have a pretty focused intended use.

But if it makes you feel better for me to say I was wrong, I'm not too proud to admit that while that quote may be out of context, I was wrong to say that because it's not always true.

MSRP on my 550 was 79+ , dealer wanted 65K, I wrote them a check for 59,900 and the truck was mine

My 550 is an F though, not an i

I guess I didn't realize "able to haul large containers of toilet paper from BJ's" would qualify as a focused intended use. In that case I don't see how you can have any disdain for anyone driving Suburbans, since Suburbans are sometimes necessary for large shopping trips too.

OK, aty. I listed that use 3rd. Lets talk about the first two first before we handle the third. And that is a short list of the reasons why this SUV would be nice. There are many, many more reasons why I'm considering an SUV in the future.

And BTW, I know you are pulling my leg on this because I'm quite sure you're smart enough to realize that there were lots of SUV's in the market and I went out of my way to buy a Volvo wagon that I knew had some limitations.

I'll say it once again. My issue is with people who buy SUV's only becasue they think they are cool (which is a lot of people), and with people who buy an SUV far larger then they would normally need most of the time and drive it everyday to commute, etc. I think it's wastefull, offers a poor driving experience, most don't know how to drive such a large vehicle, and the are a liability to the rest of the drivers. In essence, I have an issue with uneducated cutomers buying SUV's.

Really now, let's drop it.
