They're HALF as capable as they're older counterparts. People bought them to compensate for said insecurities and then complained about them because they drove like a truck. DUH!!!!!!!!!! When the day comes when I need a truck, I'm gona have to buy something from the 80s or 90s or buy the heavy duty stuff. Look at all the midsize SUVs, ALL of them are soccermom vans. The trailblazer is a ###### joke compared to the blazer I had. Mine had a puny 2.8 and still towed 800 pounds more than the new trailblazer. Whatever, I'll stop before I get too into this. It just annoys the hell out of me when a lot of people buy things that I like, complain about them and then they get pampered or whatever and then you have the bastardized abominations we have on the road now called trucks and SUVs. Sadly this is working it's way into almost everything. 4 door charger???????!?!?!?! 2 and a half ton BMW M5 that is no where near as capable as the e39 M5 and dang near drives like a 7 series!?!?!?!

Sigh....
haha yeah I'm with you on this... even with all the lightweight "improvements" they did on it like the aluminum chassis, the E60 M5 still weighs over 4000 lbs!
