I've "lambasted" the plastic corvette as a super overpriced only-2-seat, plastic
dashboarded chevy waste in normal driving situations, except to impress, or 
satisfy
midlife stuff, but, in light of not many available station wagons these days, 
there's
a lot to be said for the usefulness of SUV's. Though I don't own one, many do, 
so
they are pretty tough to consider in a trivial light as a "status" symbol, like 
the
vette is. You need more room for convenient carrying, there's just more choice 
these
days in SUV's that you can outfit the way you want them. - even if you don't 
put wear
on the suspension, and paint job slopping them up in a field.
