Face it, /o/, the crossover SUV is the ideal form of transportation. You're just mad that the soccer moms figured it out before you did.

>posts soccer mom tier crossover
Get a crossover from the company that invented the crossover.

How insecure are you that you need "a commanding view of the road"? Further more a car on stilts will always be at a handling disadvantage, it's basic physics. I'd rather avoid an accident and get on with my day rather than having to choose between rolling over or crashing into something.

AMC isn't in business any more.

The Subaru took it to the cleaners in terms of value, space utilization, fuel economy, and offroad performance. And it still came out before. Subaru = 1975. AMC = 1980. Gotta hand it to Kenosha, they tried to be hip and cool, but they just didn't have the money to compete with the Japanese.

At least it looks modern. The Hornet/Gremlin looked outdated even when it was new.

>rough weather capability
Wrong, they're fwd just like wagons.
>shorter wheelbase and better ground clearance than a minivan
Also longer than wagons and ground clearance is meaningless to a mall crawler
>uncucked engines
Same engines as found in wagons
>don't guzzle fuel and have goos in road performance
Wagons do both of those better
>passable off-road performance for weekend campers
A car will get anywhere these obese pieces of shit can go
>comfortable, large interiors
Honestly no. They're a lot smaller inside than you think between all the airbags, giant center consoles, and door trays for womens' garbage. Sit in one.
>more affordable than suvs
And wagons are cheaper yet
>higher view of the road
What does this mean? How is this a benefit? Also let's not forget crossovers are actually worse storage wise due to retarded styling decisions.

That barely qualifies as anything other than a station wagon, it's not even lifted that high

lol they just use basic bitch sedan engines

a low car means you get decapitated in the event of a crash with a higher vehicle.
