Why is it that so many middle-aged ladies like driving big SUVs?

What's wrong with a fuel-efficient and reliable, fun to drive Toyota Corolla? Hey, I'd drive a Corolla too - it's not like I'm saying leave SUVs for only men or anything like that, but I think SUVs waste too much gas in general.

I do know that they make you safer though, well at least if you don't tip over.

Ford's market research says SUV drivers are "Exhibitionist, wannabes & w=nkers"I suppose they are one of these.

They find them easier to strap kids into child seats. Too bad they roll over three times as often as cars & their roofs are not as strong as car roofs in a rollover.

Because they don't think; they just go with the herd mentality.

yea they do take alot of gas...but they haul kids and anything else u need them too...and if u take out the ford exploder from the rollover equasion u will look at about 5% death rate in total accident deaths are caused by rollovers in an suv/truck....however about 80% death rate with a corrolla vs an suv/truck...how much do u value your childrens lives and yer own??

1. make them feel safe
2. high, able to drive over snow piles
3. some people tell me its easier to see the back when parking
4. the A/C or heat works better than fuel efficient ones such as Mitsubishi
5. more space, fit more stuff or people
6. when parking, the bumper doesn't get scratched at the bottom because SUVs are high

it makes them feel safe, cars are low and can easily slide
under a tractor trailer. it happened to me once in my suv
that i had for 3 months, a tractor trailer backed up into me
if it was my cougar which i just got rid of, it would have went
right over the car.


obsessive bout' grades
maybe because they have big families, or they need space for something??
