If you're into ownership stats....
 

I was gonna post the image but I think its a TOU copyright violation if I do. Anyways as a researcher this is very interesting to me...I wonder how much actual importance of things comes into play. For example, women say that the least important thing by and large is exterior design.

My wife drives a Pontiac G8 GT. One of the odd things about it is that there is no way to mount a baby carrier in the front seat.

This is a deal killer for a lot of younger folks once the kids start coming. On the G8 boards you will often see a car for sale due to this reason.

I'm guessing you're talking ability the LATCH system? Just curious why would you put it in the front seat? Shouldn't it be in the back, away from the airbags? It is a 4 door, right?

Sorry about the inquisition! :D

I like being in the small section of the pie :)

Although it's common to mount the carrier rear-facing in the front passenger seat (think SL class). Vehicles with smarter airbag sensors prevent deployment under a certain weight.

I heard it on the radio when I was driving and was so astonished I dropped my lipstick into my coffee !!!!

Pffft...as if you were the only tin-foil donner. :D

That's a neat graph. I don't know about how they split economy and hathback though... where does the VW Golf fit? Kia Rio?
