Speaking as one surrounded by these fucking things, I must agree with
wojtek. Here in southeastern Michigan, SUVs run rampant. Most are driven by
housefraus who haven't the slightest idea how to steer the beast or keep it
within a lane (especially when they are on the cell). When my wife and I
recently got a new (used) car, the dealer kept trying to unload an SUV on
us. We refused, to his utter astonishment. "But everybody's getting one!" he
said.

Exactly.
