And I hate their blue-rich eye searing headlights to.

    Mate if it’s going to make you happy, yeah I thought the crv was a different car.

    I also made a few other errors.

    It’s definitely impossible to understand what I consider to be a small SUV from the examples given, there’s no way anyone could possibly read into the context and work it out, it was wrong of me to suggest it was obvious. This oversight obviously entirely undermines the actual examples I’d given of where SUVs that have less storage than wagons, obviously a small SUV isn’t like the q3 or mid q5 like I’d suggested, it makes far more sense to start a conversation about small at the standard or full size segment with what appears to be the literal largest size vehicle from a manufacturer.

    I was also wrong to suggest that, like the hundreds of thousands who raised families before the rise of the SUV, that you could have chosen a station wagon to meet your needs. I concede unreservedly, my definition of small is wrong, everyone who needs to transport 4 people needs 7 seats. Further, though I didn’t articulate it, I naively thought that things like roof storage and bike racks and other science fiction ideas could further increase storage potential of vehicles.

    Thank you for so carefully dissecting my original points and teaching me to learn from my mistakes, I feel like such an idiot for spouting such nonsense. Have a great night.

      Given the near-identical size of it compared to the one you lambast, yes, it’s impossible to see any meaningful difference as there isn’t any beyond your opinion on the matter. Your sarcasm aside, I’m going to hold you to this.

      This oversight obviously entirely undermines the actual examples I’d given of where SUVs that have less storage than wagons, obviously a small SUV isn’t like the q3 or q5 like I’d suggested, it makes far more sense to start a conversation about small at the standard or full size segment.

      Oh? I note you still don’t bother to actually support your assertion with any form of meaningful data. Here, I’ll do your part for you as you’re clearly incapable of knowing what you’re talking about.

      The Mitsubishi Outlander clocks in at 185.4 L x 84.4 W x 68.5 H.

      The Audi Q5 clocks in at 184.3 L x 84.2 W x 65.5 H.

      The delta is 1.1 L x 0.2 W x 3.0 H. Where in this delta do you delineate small, medium, and large?

      The Audi Q3 clocks in at 177 L x 73 W x 63 H.

      The delta is 8.4 L x 11.4 W x 5.5 H. Where in this delta do you delineate small, medium, and large?

      Where in any of the available SUVs on the market do you delineate small, medium, and large? I suspect you don’t actually have a meaningful delineation - it would explain your complete inability to demarcate thresholds or support your position.

      I was also wrong to suggest that, like the hundreds of thousands who raised families before the rise of the SUV, that you could have chosen a station wagon to meet your needs. I concede unreservedly, my definition of small is wrong, everyone who needs to transport 4 people needs 7 seats. Further, though I didn’t articulate it, I naively thought that things like roof storage and bike racks and other science fiction ideas could further increase storage potential of vehicles.

      Ah - I see you continue to ignore the concept of height, in addition to pretending it’s impossible for both options to have roof storage and bike racks and other science fiction ideas. You seek to dunk, but in your sarcasm, you seem to erode your own position even further. Amazing.

      Thank you for so carefully dissecting my original points and teaching me to learn from my mistakes, I feel like such an idiot for spouting such nonsense. Have a great night.

      The worst part is, had you at any point actually managed to support your assertions or respond to the actual criticisms, it could have been a productive conversation. That would require you to set your fragile ego aside and be willing to consider you might just be wrong though, so…
