[QUOTE="ltv1, post: 424762, member: 6480"] I remember when a Toyota Land Cruiser was a [I][B]real[/B][/I][B][/B] 4WD truck and not an "SUV". We saw a 90 pound porcelain princess air conditiong queen driving one. My wife and I cracked up laughing. She looked like a little kid "playing drivey". They ramped the price up to what aging yupsters that didn't want to be seen in a station wagon (like Uncle Charlie's Old Rambler) would pay. Apparently, to salvage a few cool points, they were willing to shell out a hell of a lot of money. The marketing worked. I would rather be seen in an SUV of course, than a minivan. The SUV is 'oh so trendy', but the stigma of being seen in a minivan is not something I could deal with now. Maybe when they are so out of the loop you are an iconoclast, I could deal with it mentally. Not looking like a picklehead is more important to me than practicality. [B]But it's all about me anyway, dammit ![/B]:-p [/QUOTE]
