She's looking at SUVs instead of safer passenger cars, and bitching about
two child seat anchorages instead of three.

Sad. Not amazing or surprising, but sad. You have to have a licence to go
down to the lake and fish, but they'll let anyone who can figure out how
to fit tab "A" into slot "B" be a parent.

What's even more sad is that she's posting from a .ca address. Is there
some kind of Canadian equivalent of CAFE that has killed off all the
decent cars there too? Or has the SUV craze just spread that far that
fast? (not that the VUE would last 5 minutes off road, anyway... at
least not if I were driving it...)

Canada doesn't have enough of an automotive market to get
significantly different vehicles than you do down south. However,
smaller cars are more popular up here than there. Our top ten list is
as follows:

Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan
GMC Sierra/Chevrolet Silverado pickup
Ford F-Series pickup
Honda Civic
GM's front-wheel-drive minivans
Chevrolet Cavalier
Toyota Corolla
Ford Windstar
Ford Focus
Pontiac Sunfire

Fortunately no SUVs there, but that will probably change in a few
years...
