We've all seen the humongous truck or muscle car on the road with 300 more horsepower than it needs. Don't get me wrong, if I was a millionaire, there would most likely be a raised up Denali SUV in my garage, along with many other toys. But for the average person, a van or wagon are much more practical.
Hatchbacks are more practical than sedans as they utilize the space above the trunk for cargo and passenger area.
Cargo vans can usually carry just as a comparable truck. The vast majority of people who really do need a truck for the ruggedness are people who work in the construction industry. For the rest, it is just a status/manliness symbol.
SUVs are the most impractical in my opinion. They are usually much bigger in size than what they are capable of doing (Amount of passengers/cargo it can carry or tow). Most do not have any real off road capabilities. Plus minivans can usually transport seven or more people.
Please let me know in the comments your opinions on why more practical vehicles like vans and wagons are not more popular. Thank you for re-steeming, commenting, and up-voting!
