Browna's avalanche is a sweet rig. I didn't like them until I rode in Browna's, it's a thing of beauty. Drives well in the city, you can sleep in it, and is great to have when your moving (nudge, nudge, wink wink Browna).

As for the more compact models discussed in this thread, I think you'll find that automakers are generally going to continue to produce more smaller vehicles. As these companies continue to globalize, global strategies are often influenced by where they are generating the most money and opportunity. For as long as the auto has been around, it seems like it has been the North American consumer driving the strategy. But now that China is starting to open up, with the potential of being the largest automarket in the world, I think you're going to start to see a lot more compact cars all over the world, which is a necessity in China obviously, due to the dense population. Automakers seem to be trying to manufacture a model that has all of the features of a sedan, but is compact. I just got back from Europe, and it seems that 99/100 cars are compact. There will though, always be a market for "big rigs" like Browna's Av, but expect to see many more "Waves".
