So why do you drive Bimmer, there are other cars that get you from a to b
Drive what you want ( unless I have a better idea
)
I drive a bimmer because it offers something others don't - superior driving experience, a sweet I6 engine, 4-year free maintenance, and it's an entry level luxury to boot. Please re-read my post where I ask that same question - what does Durango offer at its price point that makes it stand out and make people want to buy one? Luxury? It may be filled with luxury features but a dressed up Lada won't be cross shopped with a RR by a luxury buyer. Interior space? Same as any other, and some smaller (from the outside), SUV's. Hauling a boat? Well, that's a good one. What else?
So far, I can see if you have a family of 4 and have a boat... Even then, there are smaller vehicles that can do that too.
To SaskSpecV:
"...A vehicle that can haul 7..." that's a stretch. James says
"...I expected more for second row leg room, and as in many third rows, well,
you do not really want to sit back there..."
and this
"...but it does seem small inside when you take into account its outside dimensions. My curling broom, for example, didn’t fit behind the third row seats, yet it fit easily in the Toyota Camry last week..." Hello?!?!

Still sticking to your guns after this regarding space?
To DKaz:
I lived in Calgary NW by the Market Mall for 3 years from '99 to '02. My ex and my 16-year-old daughter live in Calgary. And I do get Calgary - a lot of oilfield contractors in their trucks zipping up and down Deerfoot. So Calgary of today is like Texas, I get it. Until next recession that is. I do remember '99 very well when 40,000 people were laid off from the oil industry when oil hit $11 a barrel (I know I was a petroleum engineer back then). Weren't that many trucks on the road then. Calgary is an up-and-down place, so it's not a matter of 'if' but solely a matter of when a new recession hits again. Strike it while it's hot.

"Just gotta have one". Same as R1 or CBR1000 - "I'll never track it or use it to 50% of its potential" but everyone must know that I got the bestest and the baddest. The North American attitude. Gas prices will change that quickly.
