Reading a few more articles in the WSJ, I came across this one about the Honda Fit. The article challenges Americans to see if they really need big, fat trucks and SUV’s. The article was fine, but the first post back was the entertaining bit. Here it is:

“There is no “one size fits all” auto out there. Some people need GM trucks or SUV’s because they haul something for go camping or live in areas where it’s snows. I’ve had a small car before and you are very limited on what you can do with them. If you buy something large at the mall, you have to call a friend with a GM truck or suv to pick it up from the store.

So the Fit gets 36mpg and you are forgot to say oil is trading at $46. The 15mpg SUV you must have tried is the Toyota which gets around 16mpg and uses premium gas. Stick with American autos and you get better MPG readings and better quality. Something a quality article would have mentioned.”

I buy large stuff at Malls like this all the time, I think I need a truck to take that roller coaster home, nuff said.
