I'm just hoping for a good electric or plug-in hybrid 4WD/AWD SUV or
crossover before I need a new car. That Porsche is pretty, but I don't
think it's going to cut it on my roads (or even my driveway)!


SUVs are coming. Tesla has one in the works. VW has some 20 models, this is just one, there are others in SUV sizes.


These are better for the environment:

(Besides, peterson doesn't NEED an SUV, he just WANTS an SUV.)
