Car has handled every family trip taken, and is comfortable. Personally, I don't see this market to be very different than sedan owners. If I lived at a lower elevation, I'd consider a sedan, although I do appreciate the space provided by the SUV with the seats down. I also have a 981 for the trips without the kids. I'd guess the compact SUV market is a sub-market for SUVs that just don't like or need the real estate of the large SUV.

An SUV that makes sense haha. Something a bit more tame for the rest of the motorist. Can't say how much I would pay to wipe all the Tahoe/expedition/explorer/yukons and dare I add broncos off the road. Rarely do these people utilize all the seats, not only do they not go offroad but most of these listed are not capable off road, they guzzle gas, which is bad enough when actually being utalized in a sports car but much worse when in a useless several thousand pounds too heavy SUV. More cup holders than anyone could ever need aside from a true McDonald's conisour. Why can't I live in Germany where people carry family's around in panameras and cls shooting breaks.

Yeah, a heck of a lot more sense than a pickup -- assuming your judgement is based on utility, right? I mean unless it's a work truck, how much time is the flatbed occupied?

Uh... I don't think all these people are hauling Porsches... or need these for work.
