Re: Why an SUV or utillity vehicle? A study

I think station wagons will come back into vogue in a big way. They
kind of are already (certain ones, anyway).
As for minivans and SUV's--I think people like sitting up higher. And
a minivan will get almost as good fuel economy as a passenger car, so
why not? They are easier to get in & out of for elderly and otherwise
physically challenged.
I was looking for another Chevy S-10 pickup when I stumbled upon a
Dodge Caravan c/v (cargo van).
I decided I could haul anything in that van that I could in a pickup,
with the exception of a refrigerator standing up.
Plus it gets as good of gas mileage, and it's front wheel drive, which
I like in winter time.
Anyway--I never bought another S-10; and have had 6 Caravans.
I don't have SUV's because I drive so much that fuel economy is of
high concern.
