The Outlander is just a big station wagon, which we do need because the other 4wd is well, its just ridiculously fast and not exactly purposeful
Both the Ford and Holden wagons are awful things.
All the European stuff is too small to the point you may as well buy a large sedan and anything of any decent size like the Volvo's and Audi's are excessively over priced, all the other stuff like the Korean or Yank station wagons are just disgusting
Actually drives quite well on the road better than a lot of large sedans, they have a very clever 6spd automatic gearbox, lots of stability, braking technology in them and it'll put up with Angie's predilection for running over/into gutters and the odd median strip.

The other 90% are soccer mums who back over kids as a hobby.

Yeah ok, I could take on awesome tracks where you definitely will not get a car. Don't hate us because of an idiotic minority.

we have snow and ice, alot of it, and 4x4 +winter tires helps alot...
Yeah Fledz, haven't you heard about the Canadian winter? Lol. 4x4 is hardly useless just about anywhere in Canada. The fact that it's the law to have snow tires on your vehicle in the winter in some provinces should speak to validity of owning a 4x4.
