What percentage of SUV drivers choose the new VW or Porsche? Heck, in ten
years, what percentage of SUVs on the road in the U.S. will be the new VW or
Porsche or similar? No, most SUVs will still be the 30-year-old truck
technology shitboxes designed and manufactured on this continent,
unfortunately. Not if *I* was buying one, and not if most readers of this
ng were buying one, either. But that's another story. -Dave

Most SUVs are and will be car based in design. Virtually every
manufacturer now has at least two car or mini van based SUVs and the
trend will unfortunately continue until we are forced into calling a
unibody soda can with a sewing machine engine in it a "truck".

Not as odd as you might imagine. My wife is thinking of buying a new
vehicle. Let's see, we're down to the short list of (if she had her way) a
Trailblazer, a Forester, a (Ford minivan, name escapes me at the moment), a
Ford Explorer, a Kia Sedona, a Hyundai Santa Fe and . . . a PRELUDE!!! (do
they still make that? she used to own one and loved it, wants another) I'm
pulling for the Sedona as the least of the evils. :) -Dave
