So why are these people driving these lame ass SUV's?
Again.
People drive lame-ass SUV's because they occasionally need one and only
have
money enough for 1 vehicle. They occasionally need one because:
1) It snows like hell at least a few times a year, they have to drive it,
and
anything else they might buy has a higher chance of getting stuck in the
snow.
2) They have more than 2 kids, and at least 2 of them still require child
safety seats. Put 2 child safety seats in the back seat, and you aren't
putting anything else there. They need a 3rd row of seats.
3) They need a vehicle that will haul stuff out into the suburbs, stuff
from
Home Depot, Lowes, etc.
4) They want to pull a big boat or some other trailer for recreation, and
the
SUV is about the only thing other than a truck that is up to the job.
Some
people actually buy the trucks for this, but other people don't like that
either.
5) What they really need is a large station wagon, but Federal laws have
made
it all but impossible to build those, so the next best thing is an SUV.
Number 6, they might just want one.
There is that, too.
