re: Who is the national market for $80k suv's?

However, I do know several people driving in high end SUVs that don’t have shite for retirement and a washer going out is a major financial crisis.

Me too.

I guess to summarize me in this thread.

1. Why SUVs? I mean, if you want to talk "dumb" in this light, buying a Corvette is probably dumber. At least the SUV has a theoretical family purpose.

2. Stretching happens at all levels of car buying and, truthfully, it's MORE common in the middle tiers. Say, 30-50K

3. Most of the dislike for the Suburban drivers has to do with the dislike for the type of person who drives one.

4. A whole lot of the hate has to do with envy. People who are literally stretching their arse of to pay for their 35K car that are then mocking someone doing the same for an 80K vehicle.
