> It just gets soccer mom vibes, so it's not $120,000
I always find such arguments comical. Have you seen soccer moms? They all drive huge SUVs. SUVs = soccer mom vibes!

Why? I know SW handle better, but who cares. Modern familys handle plenty well.

The taller the car the less safe it is for everyone around it.
And I rented an SUV once and was surprised by how small it was on the inside compared to the outside. Seemed way less practical than it could have been.

They are tall for ground clearance. Fantastic if you deal with a lot of off road situations. Like all other things discussed in this thread, it is underutilized.
Still, I prefer driving a awd suv in winter if I am at risk of being in a snowstorm.

Yeah we're talking about soccer moms, they don't need ground clearance. Station wagons can just as easily have AWD, Subaru were famous for it.
Station Wagons -> Minivans -> SUVs
What's next? I hope we loop around back to station wagons.
