I sold my Corvette last summer and bought a big old Tahoe. I wanted the extra space because I have large dogs. I don't commute though, mostly coffee shop and shit like that. For me an SUV made sense.

I spend most (three out of four) weekends in the mountains.

My VW Golf turbo diesel (1000+KM/55L) has adequate room for most of my gear.

likewise on the amount of time spent..I drive a denali, but I hate the gas mileage.. what takes $50 for a trip I could get 3 or 4 trips for $25 of gas in a subaru outback or something small and similar.

the article writer forgot to tell everyone you get a huge tax deduction for driving an SUV for your biz purposes.

I wish I could afford a focus! - they make wicked rally cars

Very true and well written article.

Why do Americans feel the need to drive these gas guzzlers?

Australia is now heading that way too.

You can say that again. I tried to but couldn't get past the first paragraph.

I have a 2003 TDI Jetta and it's totally the way to go. Now if they'd just start putting TDIs in Audis.... the A4 quattro would kick ass if it was diesel powered!
