Replying to: tidester (Aug 25, 2004 7:28 pm) it did have more body roll on the corners than say, a cayenne or endeavor... but it stuck to the pavement, enough so that I could finish taking the corner instead of heading off thru the cones and into the grass... pretty remarkable for a SUV....I know my scirocco, porsche 928, jaguar XJ-12 , maybe even the camry, could not do better.... drove the highlander, pilot, accord, and camry at high speed on the Mitsubishi course.... some of the sedans really cannot handle , as much as they seem close to the ground with Low center of gravity and less weight.... the endeavor was the tops in handling..pilot was second, and highlander was 3rd... |

| I dont know while I was in Missouri for a camping vacation the distribution between SUVs and Pickups was pretty even. The Pickups were towing the 5th wheels while the SUVs had the Travel Trailers. When I took my Explorer to a Ford dealer while there the lot had many more new F150s and Rams then Expeditions, Explorers and Durangos. Most people had one of each in their driveways. For most people its not all about image. But whats useful to them. Will replace my Explorer with more then likely a Durango if the dealer gives my parents a good deal on the Durango they are looking at. My wife is also interested in the 300 which is the only car I'd ever drive. Other then that I'd always buy an SUV. | |

while I was in Missouri for a camping vacation the distribution between SUVs and Pickups was pretty even. Not surprising...there are lots of big cities in Missouri, no? Most people had one of each in their driveways. Well, that tells you something, don't it  Even if one is for HD tasks, the other is for...what?

Replying to: li_sailor (Aug 26, 2004 7:00 am) Isn't that what's called the Missouri compromise? Or was that when they agreed that half the people would say "Mis-su-ri" and the other half would say "Mis-ur-ruh?" |

Magnum has a huge wheelbase so passengers have more rear leg room, but there is less head room and less cargo space than in an Outback, FWIW. highender: while I agree, note that those cars are called SAVs and other acronyms besides SUV. I liked the Endeavor I test drove, also. But it's also a blend of wagon and SUV, not pure SUV. -juice |

it's my observation, people with farms/ranches in the Rocky Mtn. Region/western U.S. are big on Suburbans. Much more common than anything else. Of course, any farm or ranch that's actually in any type of production agriculture WILL have a pickup--full-size, Ford-Dodge-Chevy/GMC. FWIW, my "midlife crisis" vehicle (anticipated in 3 - 5 years) will be either a Wrangler or a WRX wagon. Probably a jeep would fit me better, but test drove a wrx a while back--wow! Modern minivans are the 1972 Country Squire wagons of today. I think that's why true stationwagons have faded in popularity. |

The other would be to take the entire family out. Pickups can only carry 6 passengers not very comfortably lol. I dont know about A LOT of big cities but there are big cities in every state. The other difference i noticed was there weren't too many luxury cars driving around. Jeber that is true. The Pickup is the work truck while a second vehicle would be the family vehicle. Be it Car, SUV, minivan, whatever. |
