Agree. Worrying if a vehicle is manly enough says a lot more about your manhood than what you drive.
Can a man buy a small SUV?

You are fine as long as you choose the right color. Color is the most important thing in car buying. Too many people get hung up on models and price; it's all about color, man! Well, color and leather interiors. Man cars MUST have leather interiors, preferably black to match the black leather outfits your gal friends will wear when riding in your manmobile.
Check out the colors of my cars, manly; Metallic Meridian (metallic, man, like heavy metal!) and Guards Red (serious classic German man car color). My third car color sounds less manly, Ocean Blue Pearl Effect, but it's a ****in' awesome damn manly color with a bad name. It makes up for the color name with a black leather interior (remember leather is manly), has a six-speed manual (no girly automatic) and is all-freakin-wheel drive.
:shocked:

CX5 is a decent choice, my boss drives one. It's not going to win any races, but it sips gas and is pretty roomy. I like the subaru crosstrek as well, not an suv, but awd and also gets nice mpg, more affordable I think than the outback. Both are newer though, so not going to find used deals like you mentioned.

Hey M'town...Iowa fan says it's cool. There's more there than just readin' the words...just sayin'.
reallydoh, WRT worrying about what others think about your vehicle...don't.
Want a smaller SUV and still keep your testicles? Like I said, go with the original, a Jeep Wrangler.
It was born in WAR, damn it. Its not a Sport Utility Vehilce. Its an ***-kicking Utility Vehicle. Like a Swiss Army Knife, if only the Swiss were awesome. Put a hitch on the back and tow anti-aircraft guns into place. Or load up a squad and go secure the high ground. Take the top off and mount a Commie-killing machine gun. It not only survived the cold of Bastogne and the hell of Vietnam but looked damn good doing it.
Hot outside? Take off the freakin doors. Men don't need artificially cooled air. We breathe real air, polluted by the smell of sweat and the stench of others' fear. Our AC is the cool air you find at the top of a mountain. Because you're driving over the top of one. A tall one. With no roads. Let's see a dainty CR-V do that.
When a Wrangler parks next to you, be careful. Because that man has probably killed someone. That day. With his bare hands. But you probably have nothing to worry about cause your little SUV tells him you're no threat. Except to pee sitting down.
Not for you, you say? Well neither is America then, pal. Because what is more American than kicking *** and taking names? Cause Lee Greenwood had it right. I'm proud and I'm free. Cause freedom is driving anywhere you want. You may go over the river and through the woods to see you Grandma, a real Wrangler-driving man does it to kill some skinny-jeans wearin hipsters.
You want to be a *****, drive something else. You want to get some *****, saddle up cowboy.

This is the only real answer. Buy what suits your needs, and own that ****. Youre the one that's paying 10,20,30etc thousand for the vehicle, its entirely your call. Buy a small SUV if that fits you or a powder blue prius if that's what you want. Anyone who has an issue can go get their own car with their own monthly payment.
Yes, because what's more american than this:
A rusty f'ing fiat. Fiat, the lowly $h!+box making Italian car company that owns your 'merican Jeep, which it bought with a cannoli and a stromboli and a promise to pay back it's creditors.
:wink:
*Edit: Edited because I apparently couldn't spell cannoli...and I didn't want Mr. Jeep to call me out for possibly offending his greasy overlords.

My opinion man, buy anything you want in any color you want. Just make sure and hang a couple of swinging steel balls on the rear end and people will know that you are the "man".
I'd like to know how you paid $8k for a 2 year old Explorer. I know their resale sucks but that sounds like the greatest deal in the history of cars.
Wait was it this one?

I drive a RAV4 and I don't care who knows it!I need a new SUV but the budget and gas prices mean I don't want to get something large like my last vehicles of a Ford Explorer and GMC Envoy. My question is this - certain cars are clearly girl cars (Honda CR-V) but is a Mazda CX5 acceptable for a man?
The only small SUV that doesn't look like a rounded spaceship to me is the GMC Terrain and even that is pushing up my price limits. It seems like all the other small SUVS have the exact same body shape.
Does anyone have any thoughts for me? If you are a car dealer (GMC Terriain!!) I'd love to hear from you.
I need AWD and it needs to be an SUV of some sort.
(BTW - My 2 year old Explorer was 8k and my 6 year old Envoy was 3,500 so I really have had some killer deals which is clouding my judgment).
A man can buy whatever he wants. That's what make him a man.
The other night on AGT, Heidi Klum interrupted Taylor the comedian. Taylor responded (paraphrase), "Heidi, this is America; when a man is talking, you listen."
And yes, I watch, AGT, because I'm a man, and I can watch whatever I want (as long as my wife gives me the remote).
