What the hell?? That was the dumbest thing I have ever read in my entire life. Yes, I hate 2 wheel suvs, they are station wagons in my book. But, if you ever degrade my fullsize Blazer again, or my friends, or my dad suburban, and my moms suburban, I will drive over your most likely, little accord driving ass. 4 wheel drive suvs are off road vechiles. They need high ground clearance, solid axles, big engines, and plenty of room. What you describe as a good suv is uhhhm nothing avaiable in our times. You want areodynmaic? By a car. You want a good soft ride, ride in a water bed. You want power, well by a Blazer or Bronco. You want good gas mileage drive a car.
I looks like you need a hobby, or a career or something.
After reading your artical I was totally amazed at how much missinformation and generalization could be put into one artical. If you want a vehicle that rides like a car buy a car. If you want safety by a vehicle with airbags. If you want economy buy a light weight small engine car or motorcycle. Your arguments for not buying an SUV because they are over priced shows little understanding of capitalism and makes me wonder if maybe you just might be a card carrying commie. To quote Marshall Feilds "Give the lady what she wants" this embodies the spirit of capitalism. If automakers are making large profits from SUV sales then you should ask the automakers who don't have an SUV on the market WHY NOT. In your attack on the leaf spring you make some good points. Of course anyone who has crawled up under a vehicle with a coil spring suspension has noticed a lot of extra hardware. And by the way that extra stuff requires extra engineering in pre production and production of the vehicle. And oh yeah THAT DRIVES THE PRICE UP! Just look at a Porch. or MB. they handle realgood and ride nice and you pay the price. Bottom line give the engineers enough time and enough money and the can design just what you want. I could go on and on pointing out the flaws in you article but it will probably fall on deaf ears or be like talking to a brick wall. I would like to address one more point, that of safety, go back to basic physics and you will see that the heavier object allways wins.
It is obvious that you have never driven a Grand Cherokee. Carlke
ride,no leafsprings,aerodynamic,unibody construction and full time four
wheel drive is a big saftey advantage! You must drive a little , cute
sports car like the little girl across the street drives.
YOU SUCK IDIOT
so why did you go to all this effort of creating a web page etc., to attempt to deter people from buying a suv?? why is it that no one is putting up web pages attacking subarus and other soup cans?. why not just drive what you want to drive and not worry so much about your neighbor. i personally find all this uproar over suv's amusing, since its the same people who seem to get "involved" in other things that are none of their business.
Dearest Eliot,
I think you're a little pansy and if i ever catch your chinker car
driving ass on the road I'll squash you with my 77 jeep. It may only have
a 351 Winsor but it's enough to run over your pansy ass. By the way, I've
tried to work on those little rice burners, I couldn't even fit my hand
in the engine compartment. As for getting under them, that's out of the
question. And if you're ever in Virginia, I'll take you
four-wheelin'....Oh yeah, I forgot about your....car.

I agree with you fully. I also have a very small penis..and resent ANYONE with ANYTHING bigger than mine. I have a lovely little Tercel Wagon..and I think that is as big a vehicle as ANYONE should be allowed to buy. Being a liberal bunny hugger..I think we should set up a new govt. dept. to solve this problem..because after all...the proleteriat knows better what is good for everyone else.....let's call it the ReichsMinistry Of Vehicles....and get some snappy black uniforms for the Vehicle Size Inspectors......those rich bastards who have big heavy boats and trailers...and the guys who do the work of this country..and need heavy vehicles to carry heavy loads...screw em....get with the program..we are going to off shore all our technical talent and industrial work anyway...so who needs big vehicles...a Honda Accord should be FINE for going down to the Unemployment Office.....
