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.
