According to the auto manufacturers own stats, the vast majority of SUV owners don't drive them for the reasons the vehicles were originally constructed. And as for shuttling around vast quantities of kids, said kids would be safer in certain types of crashes in a passenger sedan or a minivan than they would be in an SUV.

So what?

Minivans are just as expensive and get as poor gas mileage as SUVs. They're just lower. That's what you people really want, isn't it. You want people not to ride high.

I agree. I have a kid and a tan mini van. I think it's legally required. One day I walked out of Babies R Us and tried to find my car. EVERY CAR IN THE LOT was a tan mini van. Talk about trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Anyway, I take the SUV's are evil arguments as an attack on my tan mini van, as the arguments against them are virtually identical. Except that a tan mini van wouldn't roll over if you hit it with a Sherman tank.
