[QUOTE=Tracus;13741329]Consumer Report has very poor automotive judgement.
Anyway, it is not an SUV you dumbs(Consumer Report people) it is an Sport Activity Vehicle, so obviously is designed for fun.

The humans started to live large and move arround large vehicles , consuming more gas, washing and polishing a bigger car for nothing. If I need to carry large stuff there are cmpanies that are doing that, I don't need te mess up my bimmer.
Nonetheless, if you are an organized person, you can fit a family in X1 with their needs. 30 years ago family of five managed to have fun with litle cars and they never complaint.
I will never buy the soccer mom van needs explanation.
What's next? Aston Martin is not big enough to buy draperies and plants?
You want practicability? Buy the car that meet your needs. There are plenty ou

there.[/QUOTE

The absolute dumbest comment from these idiots at Consumer Reports is "you can buy a bigger vehicle for the same money". Why buy a 3 series when you can get a Caddy XTS for the same price or why buy an X5 when you can get a Suburban. They obviously don't have a clue how the premium car market or market in general works.
