Why do people complain about an SUV costing $40 K when it has to meet a mountain of detailed government safety standards, get reasonable gas mileage for it's size, weight, be safe for families, be attractive to the buyer and have all the little niceties everyone wants - room for the big people, luggage and everything else, cup holders and on and on. Oh, and factor in the cost of the dorky lawsuits where people sue Ford to death because they drive and drink but the damn SUV tipped over so hey, it's Ford's fault. Meanwhile, I'll go to the local Dillards or Macys and a dinky little purse costs $100.00 with a few pieces of bling-bling on it. I want to hear people complain about that stuff.
