A couple of weeks ago I had gone to Starbucks (amazing) and I had purchased 3 drinks. (One each for me, mom, and Becca. Note the extra is a cup of ice for mom-don't ask) While trying to get Sydney into the car I was stumped as to where to quickly place the drinks. It was at this moment that I thought how great it would have been for the bumper to be three inches deeper.
I have now thought of additional reasons for deeper bumpers. Deeper bumpers could be used as a mini table or seats when tailgating. SUV's and mini-vans are now coming with cool features. Some have tables inside, others have built in coolers. How about a bumper that has an automatic table that slides out the back? I could use that as an instant diaper changing area or it could be an instant table for my laptop. That would be useful when I am driving from one location to another and I am suddenly assigned a project that is due in 15 minutes. (Seriously, that never happens ;) )
The bottom line here is we need bigger bumpers.

Sounds like you should just get an RV with a slide-out! :)
I couldn't agree more! I never know where to place my Starbucks. My SUV is too tall to put it on top. AND the hood is too slanted. It drives me nuts.
Yeah, I'm all for a pullout bench in back
Ok, so I am totally serious when I say you need to come up with a design and patent it. You would make millions! I would buy 2!
I'm right there with you. While my vehicle actually did come with both the cooler and the table built in, there were no seats and a wider bumper for my wider backside would be the perfect thing when I need to pull out the table and have a quick picnic!!
It's like you read my mind!!
I miss the tailgate on my truck.
