Crazy how the Auto industry finessed Americans into buying SUV's.

One thing people don't realize is how much oil is used for the pharmaceutical industry.



If you stop production of oil you kill a lot of the pharmaceuticals people use. That's why it hasn't stopped.

Its used for so much more than just gas.

Yeah North America doesnt make as much sedans anymore. Weird

Crossovers are the perfect mix between sedan and SUV

What are some good examples of this

There should be a truck in every household. I’m pissed I don’t have one yet.

A truck for what exactly? Not saying you’re wrong necessarily, but any truck duty can be accomplished via any old ass truck and a dolly…. You don’t need a new truck for truck duties

I always drive my uncle's SUV, its fun to drive SUVs, being above everyone on the road is cool, but expensive to run.

I always drove reliable hatchbacks, 16 years old. The most I paid for a car was 3.5k. I hate car loan payments.

My girl loves nice cars, we might end up getting her a mini SUV.

I have a relative who got a SUV as a single woman with all adult kids who are out of the house. Asked her why she got a more expensive less fuel efficient vehicle when she doesn't need the room and she said she likes sitting up high

Just dumb

With how much bigger people started getting in the 90s I dont think they had to push very hard lol

Now what's crazy to me is the way Hollywood switched up and tried to push "going green" like they not the ones that made the Hummers/Ranges/Escalades blow up in the first place

Sitting up high is great. You can see traffic further ahead which makes driving safer.

People who say it’s for room are full of shyt. Everyone has been conditioned to consume. Buying shyt they don’t need which eventually becomes junk. A coworker is paying $1100 a month for a ford raptor and he uses it to commute to work. That’s it. One kid and his wife has car note on a Bronco. Everything in this country is done in excess.

nikkahs can't buy what they want with the money they earned. Crazy work.

This is like complaining that a single person didn’t buy a 2 seater

No it's literally complaining that they didn't buy a more affordable fuel efficient sedan

Facts, I drive a 2 door that sits low and driving through shopping centers be having me on edge. Every intersection I just hope nikkas aint plowing through stop signs.

Soon as I get in shortys suv the higher seating comes in clutch.

The majority of trucks they are making now are just vanity on wheels. The fronts are too high and it any of the electronics stop working like the gate or steps its a hazard for lifting.

My wife got a Subaru recently. It's technically an SUV but to me it's just a station wagon with a slightly higher roof. We can get a lot of snow were we live so it's nice she has all wheel drive. We also go camping and it fits all of our gear.

It's not a monster SUV my any means but it is a bit bigger than a sedan.
