a front wheel drive "suv" is really a mini van with a different body and if someone wouldn't have thought it uncool to drive a mini van then it would still be called that. i would say if want an suv buy one but make it rear wheel drive and have a shiftable t-case. the pontiac would be hard pressed to get ur boat out of the water or a trailer up a steep road. if u want a minivan go get one and get a lot more room for the money and and same gas milage and if it is a GM product it will probly have the same motor and trans. if less MILFS would buy mini vans our damn suv insurancs would go down and the EPA would get off the auto makers buts about reducing the emissions of the product line.
