Hey, just wanted to let you know that I have absolutely nothing against gianormous suv's, except the fact that I may run everyone over and have to have 4 parking places cause I'd be afraid of running over a ford focus or something Cause I'd totally love me a bling blinging Escalade someday
Oh, I wasn't saying it to you!!! It IS ginormous and I love it!!! I'd get bigger if there was one! Tri-sarah-tops: It's not too bad to park. It takes a little getting used to at first, but people will get the hell out of your way! I love being a teeny little girl in a great big honkin' truck. People always comment about how funny it is that I drive such a big thing.
It is a Hyundai Tucson, the smaller version of the Hyundai Santa Fe. I have no problem parking it anywhere, and it doesn't drive like a truck (although some people like that, I am not one of them) Anyhow, I love my new car
My mom has this car and it's a great car. Very spacious, roomy. There's also a third row that you can use but you can put the seats down to make extra trunk space. It isn't super expensive and I think this car got many good reviews/awards.
also - don't forget the HUMMER H3 - its footprint isn't that much bigger than a CRV, and the milage is similar to other SUVs if not better (16 city, 20 hwy) - I know - it's surprising - and it's a cool looking car http://www.hummer.com/
it's also around the same price as other SUV's at around $29,000
