Hey Konageezer. Not to criticize you taking a position on SUVs, but just for background, what is your position on alternatives to a SUV? Totally no negativity - just to understand where you're coming from. I mean, there's a range of transportation alternatives, with walking on one end of the continuum to chartering a resurrected Concorde on the other. Are you at the "no motorized vehicle" point on the continuum, or at the "Suburu is OK, but a Durango is not" point, or what? I'm at the "Durango met my needs when I bought it in '98 but I may be looking at a Suburu next time because all of the kids are out of the house and the dog died" point on the scale myself. Wish I lived in an area where I could bike to work safely, like you. Welcome to the Forum
