I just find it a bit interesting when people on this site start to bash* other cars and people who drive those cars.
Don't forget, we (and our cars) are quirky. Our cars have their share of issues too (see DIC, turbo, SLUDGE, etc.), yet we still choose to spend a (relatively) high price for our vehicles even though we are aware of these issues. Why? Our cars offer a fun factor that I don't think a Civic (for example) would offer.
That said, I would never bash a Civic owner (for example) for electing to buy a car that, realisitcaly, will have fewer issues over its life than a 9-5. A Civic will offer him different things in different ways. Alternatively, I would NOT apprectiate the Civic owner bashing me for my choice, as my car offers me different things in different ways.
So why bash that woman for driving a Hummer? Do we know her? Do 100% of all SUV owners use their SUV's for clothes shopping and dropping kids off at soccer? Of course not.
Let's not generalize, because we wouldn't want people making generalizations about us.
*I mean "bash" as opposed to making interesting observations about outher makes/models (more/less acceleration, room, handling, etc.)
