>Some here's some more defense.
>1) This is America (freedom of choice)
No arguement there!
>2) SUV are no worse than pickup trucks or vans, so why the focus on SUVs
Pickups and vans are *often* driven by people who understand their limitations and are driving them for their intended purpose. Unlike the 17 year old girl who t-boned my wife's Saturn with her Suburban trying to get to school on time (fortunately her parents arrived, each driving SUV's, and seemed like decent people, prompting me to not sue them for every cent they were worth.)
>3) Most of the complaints about SUV are 100% directly related to the >drivers so why bash an SUV and not bad drivers.
"Most are 100%"...no comment on that statement 'cept to say "OK, We are!"
>4) How long can this bashing trend go on. Oh well, I'm having fun >defending them, just to keep the hairs raised on someone's neck
As long as Ford and others give us the characteratures of their own buyers to reinforce it...and as long as the drivers continue to uphold it.
