We Americans have cheap gas.

Until you factor in the cost of war and loss of human life

Looking to get either a brand new Dodge Chargers SE or slightly used RT (Hemi V8) the Hemis cost a 6-8 grand more. I have to figure out how much Warranty would be etc. Any charger fans? I'd get the challenger but I want the four door so does the wife.

Why? They are much better than BMW in every aspect, if u haven't driven or owned one, u are missing out

That's your opinion Beaver. That's why they make more that1 type of car. Not missing a single thing.

Google World wars. War has helped our economy.
Human life doesn't have a price. And shouldn't be wasted at all.

this wanna be loves v8 convertibles

Id rather have a large sedan over a crossover, but no one buys large sedan, it is an old man's car.

Americans always love SUVs and Crossovers when gasoline is low. When it goes up, they start buying Prius'.

The CR-V gets 28 city / 34 highway. That's respectable enough for people to keep buying them even when gas prices go up.

Exactly my point, small dicked posers.

Most of the body on frame SUV's are based on pickup trucks. If a company doesn't have a pickup, it doesn't make any sense to develop a body on frame SUV.

This is the full list of all body on frame SUV's and their pickup counterpart. Only three aren't based on a pickup.
Jeep Wrangler/NA
Toyota 4Runner/Tacoma
Chevrolet Tahoe/Silverado
Chevrolet Suburban/Silverado
GMC Yukon/Sierra
Ford Expedition/F150
GMC Yukon XL/Sierra
Lexus GX460/Tundra
Cadillac Escalade/Sierra
Infiniti QX80/Titan
Nissan Armada/Titan
Toyota Sequoia/Tundra
Lincoln Navigator/F150
Land Rover LR4 */NA
Lexus LX570/Tundra
Mercedes-Benz G-Class/NA
Toyota Land Cruiser/Tundra

Also, If you can make a unibody SUV as fine as the Mercedes GLS or Range Rover, why do you need body on frame?

I really liked my CRV. Would recommend.

Agreed but the previous GL looked more SUV like in my opinion:

Especially on the inside it feels more practical:

There is a truck commercial (on several times a day) where some knucklehead kneels down in front of a white truck and caresses it. I don't know which brand it is.

I find that fucking ABSURD.

My 2007 Honda accord is quite adequate and reliable... best thing, it was paid off years ago.

The problem for Volkswagen is enough people have owned them to know they they will be paying a fortune to the dealers in maintenance costs. Volkswagen's sales in the US are abysmal and the Passat was supposed to change that , but ended up failing miserably. Nobody wanted to trade in a reliable Camry or Accord for a VW headache. VW seems to be clueless how deeply ingrained their reputation is in the American psyche. The VW Atlas pictured below is their next attempt at winning the American market. It's doubtful anybody will anybody be trading in their Highlander, Pilot, or Grand Cherokee in for this.

2018 Volkswagen Atlas

An Accord and a pickup have two completely different purposes. The Accord is reliable, fuel efficient transportation to get you back and forth from work. The pickup can tow the boat to the lake or a trailer when moving or working on the house. America wants both and will often have one of each.

Here's where the SUV comes in, because it can tow the boat or the trailer like a small truck and can haul cargo, but it gets good enough mileage that it can be used as a daily commuter car to work.
