An SUV can be very useful. I live in New Orleans which has the worst roads in the country. No matter the SUV, the toughened suspension, even on a CRV, helps out immensly. The ground clearance is also useful because it floods here every time there is a heavy rain, meaning three time a week. Many, though not by any means all, SUVs can also haul your boat/jet skis and, as you mention, the fam to dinner and a movie. Essentially the SUV is becoming more lifted wagon or an "un-dorky" mini-van, which is a long, long way from my old Super Scout II with its 445" V-8 tractor engine.
