We have a small SUV (Isuzu rodeo), and I kind of hate it. Daniel got it when he was living in Tennessee and driving three hours through the Blue Ridge mountains to visit his family almost every weekend, and frequently using it to ferry around his huge family and/or their stuff. That makes sense to me. Now that we live in the suburbs, it spends a lot of time collecting dust while we take the metro everywhere because it's cheaper than gas and parking. We've already decided that our next car is going to be a hybrid, since our current lifestyle pretty much requires stop-and-go city driving and not much else.
I don't like the idea of judging people based on their purchases and lifestyle choices, since everyone has different needs and situations. I have to admit that huge SUVs annoy me, though, because there are so many of them here that a lot of the time, when you park a regular-sized car like my parents' Camry or even the Rodeo in a garage or lot, two Escalades or H2s will park on either side of you so you have no visibility when you back out of the space. Grrr! :p
