I see that most of the suv supporters on this describe themselves as rural boat-haulers that live in that arctic. How about some posts from the little bitchy Austin and Atlanta and Washington DC girls and boys that get one because their rich daddy got them one to take to American University or UT? Most of the suv supporters have given fairly legitimate reasons to do with work, larger families(ever hear of condoms?) big toys like quadwheelers or boats. that is all fine and dandy. However, I would bet that the majority of SUV owners do not fall into that category. If I had a ranch or farm, then I would get an suv. As far as the snow, When I was skiing in Canada last year, most of the cars were fwd econoboxes but they all had snow tires.
Also, someone mentioned that their suv gets 18-20 mpg, while their family's ,minivan got 20-22. That is a 10% difference, which really is pretty large. Imagine if America had a 10% difference in all fuel consumption.
