I was hit by a car a few years ago. I actually died and needed CPR to keep my heart going a few times. If it had been an SUV, there'd have been nothing to do. I would have just been gone.

I say that, but, at the same time, I think being tall requires an SUV. Little sedans are too close to the ground, and they're too hard to get out of them. The whole world is designed around someone who is 5'5". Its a struggle to fit into that as someone who is almost a foot taller than that. Getting off of short furniture is difficult on my knees (especially as I'm getting older), so I could only imagine getting out of a sedan that is so close to the ground like the one in the picture. The SUV (even for all its environmental wastes in its usage) is something that a tall person can easily fit into and get in/out of.

It's almost like the world was designed backwards: we need taller furniture (something I use more often than a car) but more efficient cars.

Oh well . . ..

Ya full family. Still not cool.

We're getting there, Dual Income no Kids make that pretty easy.

Even having one kid isn't too bad.

It's that road-tripping with 2 kids to distant destinations that makes it hard to go in a sedan.

For trucks I'm with you 100%, but my knees hurt just thinking about climbing out of that low-ass car.

Maybe this is real, I'm no expert, but it does have a whiff of the photoshop to me.

If that is a 2013 nissan micra on the left it'd be smaller in all but height than what looks to be a 1990 ford escort.
