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.

    Toyota Matrix

    A station wagon updated for the hipster set. You can fit a shitload of stuff into them, they're insanely comfortable to drive, they ride high so if you are actually doing things like driving down pothole-riddled dirt roads you won't destroy the undercarriage, and they average about 35mpg, with drivers reporting the efficiency ticking up to 40mpg.

    I'd have bought one if I could afford it, but settled for a used Civic that gets 38mpg on the highway. Now I just need to figure out how to get a roof rack onto this thing.
