You laugh, I know someone who actually has one of those monsters! Although his back end is open bed with two lifts that bring his wave runners aboard and tows a boat. The thing is monsterous and he can only park the thing in his driveway. Won't fit into the garage without a major remodel. You can imagine he does not drive the thing into San Francisco let alone Berkley.

There will always be a market for SUV's, the new mini is just helping expand a new market........Try driving a mini across Black Bear Pass in Colorado, ouch!
If you live in the Western US like Ariz, Colorado, Utah, Calf and love the outdoors, an SUV is a necessity...not an Excursion which is a joke, but a Jeep Cherokee works fine....
The best of both worlds...a mini to get around town and a SUV to get out of town and into the mountains....the contrast was pretty funny seeing a silver mini parked next to a silver SUV in my garage..couldn't believe how much more I stored in the garage next to the mini and nothing in the bay with the SUV, laugh.....
I know there is talk of a mini convertible....possibly an offroad mini with runflat mountain tires, laugh?

Funny, funny site. My neighbor would get one of those if he could. He has a Ford Excursion, a Ford F-350 and a Ford Expedition. I would love to know how much he spends on gas each week. Oh, and before you think my neighbor actually needs these vehicles, the guy is an investment banker.
