My take on it is this. The car companies have taken it on them selves to make all cars look the same whether it is a 20000 chevy or a 60000 Lexus. And they are all too small IMO. SO in the South at least, a lot of people started driving Suburbans, then mini vans for all the soccer moms, and the SUV craze was born out of that. At least most of the small SUVs get better milage than a 'burban.

There is one other factor also. About 6 years ago my better half was hit in the side right in the rear wheel driving our Suburban. It did about 1300.00 damage to the suburban(including a new axle), and did over 8000 damage to a Toyota......and hurt the drivers neck and back. We knew the person that hit her, and noticed not long afterward SHE was driving a Suburban also.
