I think the main issue with SUVs (besides the higher bumper and what they do to regular sized cars and pedestrians) is that the drivers of SUVs *think* they are safer and so take more chances...

In the winter, up here where we get really bad conditions, I am as likely to see a 4x4 SUV in the ditch as I am a regular car... Instead of slowing down like they should, drivers of SUVs frequently keep the same pace... trusting their 4x4 to keep them on the road.
