I think it is awesome. But I just dont think I would ever buy it. I cant see buying a SUV as a second toy car. And if I had the money to DD a SUV that might get 20mpg on the highway I could probably afford something better.

Maybe I'm just spoiled by driving small cars, but the Jeep I drove felt like it was never going to stop. It's possible my seat-of-the-pants impression is totally wrong, but I distinctly remember thinking, "Some redneck is going to get one of these and kill his family when he has to brake in a hurry."

Haha. I thought pretty much the same thing except it was, "Some elitist boob is going to get one of these and kill his family when he has to brake in a hurry."
