... about why people buy SUVs. The vast majority buy them not because they want to go offroad, but rather for the following attributes:
4WD/AWD for getting aroudn easier in the snow and rain
higher up seating position (I have no idea why people like this so much)
cargo and passenger space (again, this is available in wagons and minivans but people seem to prefer them in SUV form)
image/feeling of "power" given by driving around in a big vehicle
So vehicles like the RX300, ML320, X5, SRX, Pilot, Murano, FX45, etc are all aiming for a much bigger market then exists for real, tough offroad SUVs.
