When I was young there were vehicles like the Ford Bronco and the International Scout that were pretty good vehicles for rough or muddy terrain. They were basically 4WD trucks with an enclosed rear end. Family cars that were made for carrying extra stuff were called station wagons. Now SUV's have transmogrified the station wagon into a tall, unstable station wagon primarily because station wagon owners are embarrassed to be identified as such, and they're willing to risk the extra rollovers in order to have the different image.

We have 6 kids (2 grown, I admit...but 2 grandchildren), my husband is 6'4 and son 6'5 and 6'4, daughter 5'10. We sell snowblowers and when it snows a lot, we dont have time to plow our drive and need to get to work no matter what. The cities depend on us, the commercial snow users depend on us and you (the consumer) NEVER buy until it snows!!!

In order to compensate for their lack of driving ability. If they'd spent money on driving lessons they wouldn't be able to afford the SUV!!!

It is only ego. They will tell you that they need them for the grocery store or because of x number of kids. Nope, the bigger the better. They have little regard for conservation either. Maybe they figure they can buy natural resources too.

Good question. I always laugh when I see this tiny, stuck up looking woman driving a full size Hummer.
You know...I often wonder why people buy fast sports cars, but drive 10 under the speed limit.

They buy 'em because they've got money to spend and want to show off.
