"For Clements and other officials at Lexus and Toyota, fielding a large and winning roster of SUVs is critical to continuing Toyota's seizure of American market share from the U.S. automakers. In the U.S., Lexus now sells more SUVs than passenger cars. In the first ten months of this year, Toyota's 675,809 American light-truck sales (vans, SUVs and pickups) equaled 93 percent of its passenger car sales."
and
"The driver behind much of Toyota's recent juggernaut-like success in the U.S. market is sales of SUVs and pickups. While sales of its passenger cars — not including Lexus or Scion — slipped 1 percent in the first ten months of 2004 compared to the same period last year, sales in the Toyota light-truck division climbed 11 percent. We attribute that rise to the company's efforts to make their trucks bigger and more powerful — i.e., more American."

While I can't stand SUVs (unless you need them to tow something), they seem to be very popular.
