These people need to have something like a Suburban. Do I know that any particular SUV isn't needed? no. But there are lots of people who buy them because they are big, and since they are big they must be safe. That is the logic that is used. Or they just buy them because they are big and look impressive. for example, my cousin bought a high end SUV this summer. She lives a suburb of Toronto. Has no kids and doesnt seem to have plans for any, doesnt own a boat or a trailer. Has a snowmobile that stays at her parents cottage year round. They dont go to home depot to get supplies for home remodling. They have no need for anything that big. none. It is people like this that I refer to as not needing such vehicles.
But again you assume that they dont need that particular vehicle. I dont comprehend how one can assume anothers need for anything. Maybe it makes her feel safe and that is what she needs. Maybe it makes up for other short comings but if that is what [I]she [I] needs then what is the problem. I'm sorry I just dont get it.
