[charlie brown voice] GOOD GRIEF!!! [/charlie brown voice]

I can't believe what has become of the automotive world when a volvo station wagon wins motor trend SUV of the year...due to " . . . It drives comfortably like a sedan, tows like a tough pickup, off-roads like a rugged sport/ute, and moves bulky cargo or as many as seven people like a minivan," I cannot believe that people actually fall for this malarky.......wow I had to bust out the "M" word to describe it.....this is getting ridiculous!!!

when you get a car magazine to rate cars trying to be "rugged" this is what we get!!:rolleyes:

AAAWWWWHHHH Crap. Does anybody remember when SUV's actually came with solid axles? Or a two speed transfer case? I am considered a youngen' but I am in the target market for these CARS. I would never buy one of these. I defense of Motor Trends, look at the Volvo's compitition. Honda Element, Honda Pilot, Isuzu Ascender, Subaru Baja. Don't get me started on the Baja, can you say El Camino? The only vehicle that actually can go offroad is the H2, but man they are UGLY, is it just me but I think that the H2 is just a glorified Yukon. Yuppie mobiles all of em.

No, not El Camino (or Ranchero), it's just a 4-door Brat. The Brat was a failure, adding the extra pair of doors doesn't help it any.

Hah Hah, I can't get this picture out of my head, some old guy standing outside his truck wondering how the bed got smached against the side of his trailer because he took the turn too tight, Hah Hah

motor trend reflects the majority of americans and their buying patterns and interests. So basically they speak for the overlying theme of the automotive industry and since their views are accurately skewed, I get worried about the overall population....:) I don't care what they say and I don't subscribe to their train of thought, (I am a car and driver guy all the way), so I don't give a crap what they say unless it scares me bejezis out of me!!!:eek:
