Anti-SUV Debate Thread

22 mpg on the highway in the US is not bad?

I can get that in urban traffic or while barreling along at over 100 mph. :naughty2:

That particular "ticket" points out the problem... where do we draw the line between what's wasteful and what's not? In the Philippines, except for the Prius and the Chevy Prism (licensed Toyota Corolla clone), the rest "not bad" cars are ALL considered gas guzzlers by the common pinoy driver.

i used to dislike suv's as i didnt really have the need for one...i love sedans better but with the conditions of the roads especially during rainy seasons, an suv is quite useful and would permit travel normally unbearable for sedans...got a tribute recently and it

ako, never hated SUV, sasakyan din naman yan,e...pero, mas may advantage sa philippine roads, lalo na kung provincial ang biyahe mo.....pero i needed more space kaya sa xovers ako: delica, delica spacegear, or any 4wd van...

Greenpeace now launched the E-Jeepneys...

Where will they dump the batteries when theyre not useful anymore?

SUVs are good... But I dont want it staying the city most of the time. Sana they will be able to take it to the wild.

True, but not everybody can bike and run.

Lalo na sa side ng Elite and middle class society.

Its either they have a fat a ss or they dont like sweat.

For me big SUV sucks.

Besides ang mga trails masisiskip so bakit kailngan malalaki?

yup big SUVs and 4x4 Pickups are a pain in the ass to drive here in the metro

even for the Sta. Fe, nalalapadan ako sa kanya

the compact SUV is enough for bachelors or family of 4.

OT: We also respond to house/site calls. And since we do not have the patient on board we need to get there faster.

We actually run faster without the patient on board.
