Got any data to back up the fact?

I got anecdata of people shopping for gargantuan 3-row SUVs so they can accommodate the third child seat. Most people don’t seem to mind as it’s “only” a monthly payment. (Over 8 years it’s a fortune in interest let alone the actual cost of the vehicle but most people don’t think that far ahead)

To add my and data as someone who recently got a third child: number one question i get askes is whether we are going to move (we live in an apartment in the city) number two is a comment about cars size. So I am pretty sure people consider this when they think about having another child.

A 3-row minivan sounds more practical.

Yeah but people like suvs :) thats why there are fewer minivan and sedan choices these days.

A minivan cost $60,000 more practical would be smaller car seats.

More like $38K.

A doge, gross.

MSRP for a low end Sienna, actually.

Back ordered for years, also I’m Canadian
