No 911s, Miatas or GT-Rs on the list....how the hell are you supposed to enjoy a long weekend with minivan or a CUV?!?!?!?!

Nothing says fun like having 19 cup holders.

Well, last time I checked Family Day is still in the winter. So yeah, sports cars wouldn't be fun, especially if you can't bring the family with you.

There is fun to be had in the winter ...

Crew Cab full-size truck on a family vacation, please.

Lots of passing power, more trunk space than any other vehicle, and you'll get to see tons of local countryside as you stop at every gas station on the way.

WTF? Since when did sport cars become not fun in the winter?

You make me sad....was hoping you of all people would have posted a pic of a KTM X-bow...

The V70R wasn't a great family car. Lack of legroom for the family had me dumping it early.

Since snow storms and freezing rain. And also since you can't fit a family and their luggage for a little road trip.

But that's not everywhere.

And define "family".

A 911 worked for our family.

Ditto my IS-F....a pretty darn beastly car.

Exactly. You don't need a damn SUV or minivan to take the family on a little excursion. People are so heavily laden these days geez...

A nice sport sedan, or wagon, or even rrocket's old 911 work just fine. Now, if you have 3 kids and two are babies...yeah you need a bus. But for a small family, you can get plenty of sport and fun while hauling the people and stuff too.
