[W126 Coupe] Off Topic: Opinions

Markus, that last comment just threw your gas prices argument out the window.  As nice as they are the SECs are not known as fuel efficient.

I agree with most people not knowing how to drive them.  Especially in Colorado.  You would think for a place that has good winters most every year, people would learn how to drive in the snow.  Nope, still too many idiots out there.  

Another reason for an SUV is cargo room.  

David

My personal opinion is that SUVs are overrated, gas guzzlers, and most of them plain ugly.  And unfortunately most owners don't know how to drive them either.
 
Especially if you are buying something newer that you plan to keep for a while, you may want to consider things like where the price of gas is headed, etc.  Maybe an AWD car if you really want that feature, plenty of those around (Audi, Jag, MB, Ford, etc).  If you don't mind something older, get a MB diesel wagon!
 
I don't know what I'd buy if I had to buy a "new car" nowadays.  Oh yeah, wait a minute, I do...that's why I keep buying older MBs (W126's!).

Now that we are expecting our first little rug rat, it is time to get my wife a new car. We were thinking a small SUV, being in Colorado AWD can have its benefits. I was wondering if anybody has any opinions, likes or dislikes about small SUV models or other ideas. Since my 1 drivable SEC is in the garage being torn apart, and my other SEC had the ass end of it ripped out, those are out. Plus it is a pain in the ass trying to get a baby seat in the back! 

Thanks,
