Careful: No one NEEDS cars either

This is a slippery slope argument. No one needs cars either. If car ownership became too expensive, people would find alternate transportation arrangements. Most consumer purchases are a cost/benefit analysis. There are advantages that SUV's offer. We as SAABisti are a self-selected group that, in general, would tend to disagree with the compromises involved in a SUV purchase. Buying a SAAB is an act of compromise based upon our unique and individual ranking and evaluation of a number of factors. Other people may have other priorities that are equally as valid.
