I'll never understand people that drive these entirely unnecessary abominations. Energy efficiency should be a major motivating factor in vehicle choice: which generally indicates smaller vehicles for most tasks.

I firmly believe that most local, individual journeys should be made by eScooter these days, and a saloon car is already the best format for mid range family trips (it wasn't broken - just go electric).

SUVs are mostly a sign of sociopathic tendencies - a manifestation of the drivers need to be feel bigger, heavier, stronger than the next person. To be confident you'll injure the other party in a crash regardless of who was in the right.. because "fuck you I can afford this".

If you live in the country, fine, the rugged format makes sense. Drive one exclusively in the suburbs to pick your shopping up? The choice says something about the buyers personality IMO, and it's not favourable.

You wouldn't catch me dead driving one by choice.
