A full-sized SUV is way more fun to drive and cooler looking, and I’m only a true fanboy for a few specific Hondas that are long gone haha, but practically speaking, I think vehicles like this make big SUVs, for most people, generally obsolete. Read more

I don’t think it’s silly at all. Car shopping is about what your money gets in terms of passenger/cargo capacity, efficiency, and performance. There’s always some tradeoff, but I think you’re selling yourself short if you only shop vehicles that happen to be similarly constructed. Read more
