Some people can get by without air conditioning, but most of us can't--think traffic jam on a 115-degree afternoon in Monsoon season humidity. It might work well as a second car for commuting during our cool season Oct. through April. Put it on the market and see how people decide to use it.

I however have acknowledged that there may not be one that fits all needs. Mostly, I need to have a vehicle that provides me with a safe, reliable, fuel efficient transportation that transports me to and from work. When I need another vehicle for something that my commuter vehicle can't handle, I use another vehicle (that I may own), borrow one from a friend, or rent one. I don't need to own a boat to enjoy a weekend of skiing or fishing to enjoy that activity. We are Americans! Do the math and figure out how we can enjoy the advantages of who we are instead of complaining. This is reality. Harry We Americans want one vehicle that meets all of our needs.
