I'm not turning your words around at all. The auto companies are making the SUVs... it isn't their fault someone wants to spend the money and not use them to their true capabilities. The problem is that people in the US (or all over the world) live beyond their means. I wouldn't buy a $60k SUV and not use it, even if just a little bit, off road because I can't afford to do so. Now, if $60k to someone wasn't a big deal to spend on a car, they may not think twice about taking it out in the dirt... it isn't the auto manufacturer that is keeping them from doing it.

I think there is, maybe not clear enough... Well, maybe it would be more clear if you did not cut out the Home Depo argument. It's not the performance or luxury I am at, what I do not question at all, but ridiculous in my opinion, idea here. Make a decision for crying out loud - is it a car, truck, SUV or what?
I didn't cut the Home Depot comment out... it's right there in plain site. It doesn't really matter, though. I think it all goes back to people buying something beyond their means. It doesn't mean it isn't capable, but why spend the money if you wont use it for its capabilities? Besides that, I would consider both the EXT and the Avalanche a truck.

Hahahahaha... but listen before you start yelling at me. And smile a little. It helps sometimes...
First of all, I'm not yelling. I'm not sure why you'd think I was upset by anything you or anyone else have said. I've been stating my opinions and not trying to be a jacka$$. I've agreed with much of what you said, whether you can see that or not.

Anyway, I guess we should just say (again) that determining what an SUV is would be more personal than fact. So... by saying that, I think the VX is actually a truck with a trunk!
