How the heck did we get here? Most best selling "cars" are now superzied pickups and SUVs. (www.caranddriver.com)

Feel free to highlight this explicit addressing.

I invite you to re-read my comment. I don't see how it could have been more explicit:

[You] the yearly road trip vacation with the extended family

[Me] For a once a year event, renting is almost certainly cheaper than using a larger vehicle you don’t need for the rest of the year.

As for the rest, I will be happy to maintain a friendly conversation only as long as you return the favor. I will not get involved in angry internet arguments.

Thank you and have a great day.

Ah, I see your error - you imply the road trip rather than explicitly highlight it.

Fair enough - I had mixed you up with another poster and you did not deserve my frustration. My apologies.
