Currently mylifestyle doesn't really "need" a rav/trailblazer per-se but I'm looking at the future. If i went to college whatever vehicle I had before hand would pretty much be the vehicle I have for the duration of college and I can see myself wanting to turn it into a mini-office for books, etc since I would be running between work, college and hopefujlly cycling. I really dislike putting my bike on a trunk rack even though the rack I have is a really nice one. I'd rather stow it inside. 'Sides chicks dig SUVs

Yeah, and lots of those blondes have to stop talking on their cellphone for a second or two to flip me the bird and scream at me. Not very attractive in my book.
I'm disappointed in your justification

If I can fit my bike easily in the trunk of a Honda Civic (without the seats down) then I'm sure you can find a car that could fit your bike. Same thing for the books. With the car, you'll have more money for those books and bike stuff too. Unless, of course, all you care about is the chicks diggin' your truck (never met any of those girls BTW).
FWIW, I've talked at least 3 people out of buying SUV's and every one of them has thanked me later. Two that I didn't succeed with went on to sell the SUV and buy something smaller that fit their needs better. Very, very few people really need to own an SUV in my experience.
