I'd prefer not to be completely crushed in a car wreck.
Regular cars are perfectly capable of protecting you.
Regular cars are also perfectly able of being "penis enlargements", as Gully put it.Very true, otherwise Ferrari, Lambourghini, Mazarati, Aston Martin, Porsche the large luxury car and sports car divisions of BMW, Mercedes, and Audi would all be history.
I don't know, I've never really thought of SUVs as being cool or a symbol of status (unless it's an Escalade) but that's just me.
Well I know that I look really cool rolling down the streets in my 7 year old 100,000 plus miles Jeep Grand Cherokee that currently shakes violently any time I brake, chalk that up to a wheel alignment problem. Oh yeah that's just the epitome of cool.
