I noticed that alo tof the big name companies are coming out with some soccermom sporty minivans. Like the acura mdx and the mazdacx-7,and nissamurano and the dodge calibur hmm will these cars surpass not about cars anymore will it be more about how much heavy luggage and people to whip around quicker from one destination to another?

I've noticed a large majority of the people who buy big suv's carry neither luggage nor large amounts of people.
They usually only have one person in them, the driver, and its usually some 90 lb woman.
They buy them so they can feel like they have something more than everyone around them, and to make it so they look down on everyone else on the road.
They have very little value to the human race. I have no problem with people actually USING suv's. Carrying at the least more than 3-4 people at any time, or lugging large amounts of cargo, or off-roading them. Real off-roading, not driving down a dirt road at 15 mph every now and then
It's not the cars fault, and I don't blame the manufacturers for making what sells, I don't like waste. I don't get upset at people for being uncomfortable in their own skin, but I despise people blatantly using physical objects to try to mask their insecurities.
Hope that was enough of a rant for ya

where you been, is something wrong?

Even the mechanics didn't know what to with them haha the only way to fix it is to replace the motor..
So far...My car has 341.000kms and it's still running strong

Crossover SUVs are the new station wagon. Most of the "trucks" you listed are based on cars (the Altima, Mazda 6, Lancer).Originally posted by h22sparkle
Personally I like those crossovers better than actual trucks. They're pretty close in size, mileage, and handling to a regular station wagon, and some of them look pretty cool. I would get something like an Infiniti FX or BMW X5 no problem over a station wagon... but I'd rather a regular 4 door over everything.
I hate truck based SUVs though. For the most part people don't need them... it's rare that people actually use them for what they're for. But the same could be said about a Ferarri or something. IDK

my favorite of the minivan wagons....Mazda 5...
go to the dealership and ask to look at a white Mazda 5 with burgundy leather seats....ull understand...its gorgeous
...
the only thing is, its engine/transmission aren't too great....it should come with the MIDI turbo with 6speed....now that would be one hell of a mini-mini van

I mean Mercedes did discontinue the AMG M-Class because so many people rolled them over. I think its back, but this time it brought company.
Oh, I also found a rumor about how Chyrsler is going to create a Pacifica SRT8...sweet. In addition to the Jeep Cherokee SRT8 which out accelerates most "sporty" cars.
The Dodge SRT10 Ram outsells the Viper...again sweet.
BMW is also rumored to create some kind M inspired 4x4.
Yes, the death of the sports car wasn't enough. Its now time for auto manufacturers to annihalate the sporty cars as well.Comment

The SUV is the new sport coupe. Unfortunate, I know. But hey, we still have the Z, the RX-8, the S2K, etc... although I would def. love the return of the RWD sports cars one class under them, like the 240, etc.
In any case, the CB >>>> most cars on the road IMO.
