The thing that SUV owners seem to be conveniently forgetting is that it's not a boolean choice. It's not either SUV or Prius; there's a whole range of vehicles available to suit varying needs, from trucks to minivans to mid-size sedans. The big new thing is XUV's (aka crossovers), which are intended to provide the cargo and passenger capabilities of a full-size SUV without all the extra weight and power that very few people need.
If you need an SUV because of driving conditions, then go ahead and get one. If you don't need it for that specific reason, then there's almost certainly a better vehicle available. Sure you have the right to drive one if you want to pay for it. And I have the right to think that you're making a stupid choice.
