How the heck did we get here? Most best selling "cars" are now superzied pickups and SUVs.

MODERATORS
Feel free to highlight this explicit addressing.
Setting aside, for the moment, you've myopically focused on a single facet of my scenario - the road trips -
Do you believe there are zero scenarios where the cost of potential SUV - cost of potential car <= (cost of rental * years of ownership)? Interesting.
Even a little more restrictive - do you believe there are zero scenario where the cost of a potential SUV which meets my feature requirements - the cost of a potential car which meets my feature requirements <= (cost of a rental * years of ownership)?
I am sorry for your limited ability to consider.
I invite you to re-read my comment. I don't see how it could have been more explicit:
As for the rest, I will be happy to maintain a friendly conversation only as long as you return the favor. I will not get involved in angry internet arguments.
Thank you and have a great day.
Ah, I see your error - you imply the road trip rather than explicitly highlight it.
Fair enough - I had mixed you up with another poster and you did not deserve my frustration. My apologies.
