Did I just buy an SUV?

I didn't mean to. I am an environmentalist. Really. But before I knew it, there it was, in front of my house.

    Sigh

    I am greatly amused by all this. Your car choice determines next to nothing regarding the future of this planet. And a Mitsubishi? I'd rather cruise around in a big old Econoline van purely for the camp factor; a Mitsubishi SUV is about as bland and invisible vehicle as you can find. And go figure, my dumb little Scion tc has more cabin space than the Infiniti "crossover" FX35, something you just have to see to believe.
