I went up to a VW Atlas from a Golf not because I really wanted a less-fuel-efficient, harder to park vehicle; not because my cock-and-balls needed the affirmation; rather, the family is growing and there was a need to move more people and gear around than the humble Golf could support.
A few years ago the solution to that would have been a van, which apparently are more practical and roomy than suvs. But they are not cool, so people don’t buy them anymore. (Not saying I know why you specifically made this particular decision, talking about the general trend)
