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.

    @Christopher1988

    I believe that while I might have mentioned MPG (and in truth, my old minivan got very good MPG, much better than the estimate) my main complaint was that minivans are dismissed because they're "lame". Meaning the author just plain doesn't want to be seen in one. Puhleeeeze. What a tool.

    My old boss has a sport utility bicycle, and they just bought a used Scion to transport themselves, 3 dogs, 2 kids and one exchange-student teenager. THAT was a little more honest than this dude.
