Exactly the reason I'm no SUV fan... here in the US people are buying their personal safety at the expense of others, not realizing that most SUV accidents are single vehicle accidents. Two weeks ago I watched a big blazar spin out on icy roads, as it was heading off the road it decided to collect the car in front of me... I just missed being involved. Get em in deep mud on a back woods trail and they're a great vehicle, put em on roads and they're inferior to just about everything else on the road. High COG, 40 year old suspension designs, heavy. I despise the whole "status purchasing" game anyway, and SUV's are the current "cool" thing. $35,000 for a vehicle that's little different than a 1970 Powerwagon... I was born during the day but it wasn't yesterday.
