Not true.

A full size sedan can equally accomodate such a family. As well as a CUV. (crossover utility vehicle) like this one:





See lots of room.

We picked one of these up a month ago. Fuel milleage on the 2.7 litre V6 is not much more than a civic. And plenty powerful. Comfortable like any other suv, actually impossible to roll if you get Trac Control.

Even the 3.5 litre with all wheel drive only does 2mpg worse in real world consumption.

There are plenty of vehicles liek this by many manufacturers. So there's no excuse for driving V8 powered 8-14mpg SUVs other than ignorance and "don't give a fuck" attitudes.
