I'm a single guy that drives a seven seat SUV. It's not a "gas guzzler", it's 6 cylinder and delivers reasonable gas mileage. I like the room, comfort and sitting up just a little higher than the rest of the traffic. I like the AWD for Canadian winters and while it doesn't have the load capacity of a pick up truck when the second and third rows are folded down it has carried anything I've had to. Oh, and I've never been cool. Not even on my best day.
