(on aside, and this may be dangerous territory to discuss, but in my extended group of friends, it is men/husbands that are championing minivans on their practicality, and women/wives resisting the perception of "soccer mom image",even though I think that's a 20 year old stereotype - soccer moms have been driving wildly impractical SUVs for decades! My group is largely functionality-oriented nerds of one sort or another, so other groups of men may well have significantly different prerogatives and are more "yargh big strong SUV yargh!" :)
- jwells89 3y agoThe cramped nature of small to midsize SUVs seriously dampens their appeal to me. It's ridiculous that such bulky vehicles have a hard time besting a tiny Honda Fit or Toyota Matrix when it comes to interior space.
- benj111 3y agoI don't claim to understand the SUV buying public, but as a man I'd be more ashamed of driving an SUV than a mini van.
