Why must I always defend owning a Suburban? I have only one daughter, yes, but I also have 4 cats and 2 rottweilers and find my self moving every 6 months (I'm in aviation contract maintenance). A capable vehicle to haul me and my family around this country, as well as tow a 3500+lbs trailer (for the move), is well needed. And by the way, my daily driver is a Saturn Ion. So why would I rent an SUV if I already own one? Why is a full sized SUV hybrid needed? Because people actually need them. It might not be people like you, but many people do need big SUVs and a hybrid SUV that
saves more gas than a Camry hybrid is a worthy feat. But hey you can go ahead and buy that worthless little car and borrow your friends big ars SUV every time you buy new furniture.
P.S My Suburban costs less per month than my Ion (including gas). But, you know they are just expensive, gas guzzling, environment destroying, end of the world, war causing, plant killing, road hogging, dangerous, evil epitome of all that man kind has done to destroy gods green earth, right?
Try this on for size. A
Tahoe Hybrid gets the same city fuel economy as a
Honda Civic Si. The difference? One can carry 6+people and tow 6000lbs. The other is a smaller little thing that goes a little bit faster.
So, why did GM make a full sized SUV hybrid?
Hmmmmmm,
I wonder.
