    The Suburban I'm thinking of is this monstrosity http://www.chevrolet.com/suburban/. It has a curb weight of 5607 to 6385 lbs. depending on the model.

    As Dave Barry said, vehicles for which you have to pick up your
    grain-of-rice-sized cellphone and call over into the next county
    to obtain permission to back up...

    Heck, a Prius looked like a grain of rice from inside the last-gen Silverado ext cab 4x4 I used to own. It was longer than the crew cab model. I think even longer than the Suburban. Definitely would not fit in a 20-ft deep garage bay (I tried my best). :p Three point (uhm, make that ten point) turns were always an adventure. I often felt scared for anybody in front of me driving a subcompact. The hood of my truck was higher than their roof. I sure don't miss the crapola MPG or trying to park. It was pleasant to drive, even if stopping distance was very suspect given its 3-ton curb weight.
