Why do yall keep buying these SUVs?

[MegaTronBomb!]

Bullshyt . Mfs with Trucks and SUV's always driving like a$$holes. You dont need insurance evidence to back that up.

You don't need evidence to back up claims .....despite there being an entire entity that tracks these things.

Here, i'll make it easy for you breh

https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813727

Cars (2,020) cause more deaths than Trucks (1080) and SUV's (1689)


More importantly, of the roughly 41,000 pedestrians killed by cars, only 4,651 were under the age of 20, with children under 14 being ~1000.

I have 23 honda pilot elite, 27 mpg. Takes 87 and only about $60 to fill it up.

I have 3 kids. Car has 3 rows n can fit 7 comfortably

a pilot getting 27 mpg?


i barely got that in my 17 accord coupe and I'm prettty sure they was the same engine. city mpg is 18

Because V8s are better

I had the 5.0 Coyote in my F-150. Just got a Ram and it has the 5.7 Hemi. While I know the Coyote is a beast and has the potential to make crazy horsepower the Hemi just sounds like a damn beast

Nowhere NEAR as bad a bmw sedan, Tesla, and beater JDM project car drivers.

Those autozone bought, weed whacker exhaust having phaggots stay crashing and crying after they just swerved across 3 lanes and cut off 20 people. Can’t even afford a turbo, they just loud for no reason. 15 different colors of Walmart primer paint coats on every panel, and they always have a single spare tire. Can’t even drive over railroad tracks without swangin because of the clapped out used suspension they bought off eBay.

BMW drivers are too stupid to figure out their turn signal and can’t even afford the 50,000 mile service charges. Do all that lane switching to end up next to me at the light while I point laugh like a Jeezy adlib.

Tesla drivers are just modern day Prius drivers only with 100x’s more torque they are too scared to use to avoid driving 10 under the speed limit in the middle lane.

I don’t know who I see more, fukked up on the side of 285/85/75/20/78, between any of those and 1998-2002 minivans that seem to spontaneously combust daily.

“More than 3 kids” . Bro if you have 2 kids alone with extra curriculars or everybody like going to the park to ride bikes, a sedan might not work . I got 2 kids..We had a sedan , but it was inconvenient as hell. Abig one too. We got scooters , bikes, so on…So it’s a matter of convenience based off your family situation. Also kids are going to be uncomfortable in a sedan when they get older , all squeezed together as well

Americans like big cars.

I like coupes but they don't seem to be as common on the road.

They cost more to buy than sedans. They are prone to roll over which often the results of that are fatal. The fuel economy is worse. They increase the odds of pedestrian fatalities in accidents involving them while also make pedestrians harder to see. The maintenance is more on them from tires to oil changes ect.

Unless you got more than 3 young kids and yall constantly take family trips the use case is a hard sell you they're getting bought anyway. I'm seeing multi-car families and all the vehicles are trucks and SUVs. We got people complaining that the average new vehicle price is $50K and SUVs are the primary reason for it.

I’m 6’6 & SUV give more leg room

OP sounds like the LAST person on Earth id like sit at a bar with and have a beer...

 

[BlazedWun]

pfft I'll never drive another car again in my life

I 4wheel and dirtbike so I need to tow them around. Try doing that with a hundayi sonata

plus you're playing with your life driving around here in a car the way these a$$holes drive.. get rearended or tboned you're cooked

 

[Eternally Jaded]

I agree with op but I'm not gonna preach at anyone about how they spend their money.

I just won't have much sympathy either.

Tbh tho, America is the sellers dream market.

And as a land of buyers/consumers/whatever you wanna call us, we want something so we get that something.

We're not a really introspective society where we do some deep thinking as a rule...

We just go get it.

SUVs are a material symbol of success/wealth/comfort?

We buy suvs then. A simple people, we are.

I don't need Google to know that car didn't get no 27mpg like u said. Honda been using that v6 in 50 different cars and the pilot one of the heaviest

19 - 27

I like the sound better too. I plan on getting a Durango GT with a Hemi when I finish paying off my Mustang.

Jeeps aren’t practical unless you really do trails or live in a mountainous place lol. With that said, it’s the vehicle I enjoy the most riding. Electronics suck, mpg suck, they’re loud but I wouldn’t change it for anything lol. Like riding a motorcycle in 4 wheel form. And the handling is surprisingly good. It angles better than most vehicles I have driven.

I totally understand. You must have been crushing all that snow we just had.
