Even being from the land of the gas guzzler I have to admit I don't understand it either, but I'm sure plenty of people don't understand my choice of vehicles either. In their defence, the SUV's I've ridden in have been quite comfortable and no more difficult/expensive to maintain and repair than a typical car, but all the rest of the pitfalls you state are certainly true. It's handy to have access to a big truck but I certainly wouldn't want to take one grocery shopping or to work every day.
