The other helpful aspect of SUVs is that they haul a lotta shit....they're the ideal family vehicles in a lotta ways, in that mothers can take their children to various activities they're involved in, their equipment, and sometimes a friend or two if they take part in a carpool team (where one mom will take a small group of say 4-5 one day, another mom will do it another day...etc..etc...). And with 'bulk' shopping stores like Sam's Club or Price Club, the larger storage areas in the rear of some of those SUVs can hold a considerable amount of stuff without compromising how/where others are going to sit.
They are for the most part, however...not quite as fuel efficient...and when being controlled by lesser drivers, they're twice the hazard...
