Hey Sower, not trying to say that your vehicle choice is anything other than your vehicles choice. i was just making the comment that in the US cars are seen as status symbols and that often drives (pun!) people to buy the cars. Most people do not make informed choices, which is strange, considering that the car is often the second most expensive item a person will ever buy, and unlike a house the lose their value quickly.

I am sure that you will buy the car that works best for you, on all levels, financially, emotionally and with the practicallity you desire. To each his own, that is why there is such an abundance of choices! Have fun finding the right one!
