Agreed. SUV are pointless for all but a small crowd that actually uses them to haul boats/trailers or actually do some off roading. BUT, lots of people *want* to buy them. Here in the USA, an engineer named Ken Olsen started a company named Digital Equipment Corporation. Ken was visionary, and it grew to be the second largest computer company in the world. Unfortunately Ken was an engineer, and as an engineer he didn't see a place for a "desktop computer" in the corporate market. So Ken ignored the PC and took every opportunity to point out that centralized servers made much more sense. Well, Ken was right from a pure engineering point of view. However, he was dead wrong to ignore the market's demands. Digital could have been king of the market, but today Digital has been bought and re bought, little of the original company remains, and still little more will survive their latest merger. You gotta give the market what it wants, right or wrong. Bob
