  Big wheels with skinny tires

Murf,

I hear you, however one of the original reasons people started buying SUVs was for traction in the snow. As some of these SUV's go to wide profile tires with almost zero sidewall aren't they turning them into monster sports cars that do not handle all that great in off road or slippery conditions, but can handle a track course great but with alot of vibration. I guess that matches better what current buyers actually do with them anyway.

Dennis

I have the butt warmers in my Pilot, I got it to make a hit with my wife, and that it does.

The funny thing is that 20 years ago people started buying pick up trucks because they were cheaper and held their value longer and were more durable.

Trucks were cheaper because it was cheaper for manufacturers to build them because they did not have to worry about cramming things into small spaces as in car manufacturing and they tended to have fewer creature features. Those days are over! Laughing out loud

Dennis
