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.

    Hybrid

    I just purchased a small SUV hybrid. The mileage stats are 31 highway and 34 city. We do most of our driving in the city. Why not a smaller vehicle? I am 72, 6' 2" tall and disabled. All the Prius's in the world are useless to me if I can't get in them.

    The vehicle is meeting expectations for mileage, is comfortable, is fun to drive and is American.
