Ok, I can understand buying an SUV or other type of truck if you intend to use it for what it's "meant" to do. IE: haul crap, and go off road. This is why I don't understand vehicles like the escalade, navigator, lincoln blackwood, x5, ml class of benz, and the new porsche SUV. Seems kind of pointless to spend 60+k on a car I wouldn't dare take off road or haul anything in, let alone park in the street!
People spend 200,000 on ferraris that will never go over 70 MPH. What is the difference?
The biggest complaint I hear is that people don't like them because they can't see around them and teh drivers are negligent. The second part is universal regardless of vehicle type. The size issue holds true for trucks, vans, minivans, etc.
