Yes, I'm probably the most vocal in my dislike of SUVs, though a few other members aren't too keen on most of them. There are a few SUVs I like (Land-Rover Defender, Mercedes G-Class) and some I find reasonable even though I probably wouldn't have one myself, but I think a lot of them are a waste of space. Often it's the way they are used (or not used) by their owner that annoys me more than the SUV itself, too many people buy them when they have very little use for their offroad capabilties. If there weren't so many of them around, I wouldn't mind them so much. In particular I dislike the luxury SUVs like the BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne and the Hummer H2, I think they are ugly and have this image of being a car that is driven by rich airheads who buy them to show off their wealth and try to look fashionable rather than to go offroad.
Anyway that's where I stand on SUVs. However Dave, or Anti SUV if that's what you want to be called, I hope you've come to this site to look at more than SUVs, we have pretty every kind of motor vehicle on this site, I warn you if you only post comments that complain about SUVs, some of us might get bit tired of it. The comments section of the vehicle pages are really meant to be used for identifying and listing information about vehicle and other relevant comments such as how the vehicle is used in the film etc. It's not really the place to have lengthy discussions and debates about things, sometimes this does happen but it's alright as long as it doesn't go on for too long. When Explorer4x4 was here he used to start big debates/arguements about SUVs and Fords, usually with some inflammatory comment about how great SUVs were and how fuel efficient they actually were (this argument had very little substance) and how American cars were better than European and Japanese cars. He really started to get on people's nerves, he wouldn't listen properly to what other people said, he kept on arguing despite the fact he wasn't going to win, and basically began to act like an ignorant, spoilt brat (he was 14). Eventually he started insulting other members about being old and antp (the manager of this site) finally had enough and banned him. That's just a warning of what can happen if you start to offend and irrate people here. Although you're probably the opposite of Explorer4x4 since you hate SUVs. Remember some of the members here actually own SUVs so be careful what you say. Please don't try to start big debates about SUVs in the comments section of the site, we've already had plenty of those. But if you want to talk about them, you could start a topic in the forum section of the site (where we are now) which is a better place for longer discussions.
