Cause they don't offer the amenities in some cases, some others don't offer the space, and in most others they don't offer the muscle I need. I do say "need" cause I drive a lot faster than I should. There are only 2 lane highways out here in a lot of areas, and if you're driving 80 or 85 mph or higher (limits are 75) you need muscle to get around a vehicle slower than you, and a hybrid just doesn't make it. Unless it's a lexus anyway, but that is too pricey for me. I refuse to pay more than $39999 for ANY vehicle unless it's a Vette.

I'm sure you already know this but if you're driving that fast you're wasting alot of fuel.

LOL...yeah, but if you're in a truck going 85-90, the MPG will go down to 14-16, in a car like the BMW, we're looking at the high 20's. It still saves me a ton of money per year. I can cut my gas consumption in half.
