john- i know what you mean, but small SUVs are extremely useful. if you ask me, small nimble SUVs suit my driving style much better. they are still capable enough to tow my landscaping trailer and get me into the trails. these are things a car cannot do. sure a large SUV would be better suited, but then again i like to drive swiftly and park in cities, considering most grad schools i applied to are in major cities.

the point being that while a large suv is enormously (pun intended) useful, smaller SUVs are equally useful for others. i don't think i'll be shopping for a new car for a very long time, its nice to see i'll have a nice offering when i'm in the market years from now and i can purchase one of these used at a heavy discount.
