I understand where you're coming from - I really do. But I REALLY wish some people who think before buying, especially when it comes to vehicles they have no experience (and in some cases, no business) driving. It's the same idea that new drivers don't need high performance sports cars; some times, timid drivers that are afraid of being in a small car shouldn't be put into a giant SUV that they don't know how to handle.

Maybe, but I'm not going to be so brazen as to determine that by looking at a person in an otherwise empty SUV on my commute (I have no idea how it's used the 99.9% of the time I don't see it) or in a parking lot, which is what he's doing.
Same goes for sports cars and exotic cars, No one needs them, either, and in fact, unlike SUVs, using a sports car or supercar as intended is LESS responsible as fora s society goes, but he and I'll bet most on here woudl have no problem with a person owning a sports car or exotic, (even though by numbers on the road, they are more likely to get into accidents than any other type fo vehicle and use fuel ONLY for personal pleasure, which is irresponsible, as well).
I've driven a number of SUVS, and have owned many, they aren't THAT bad to drive. Visibility IS better, and most have larger brakes and larger springs/swaybars and a wider track to help handling so that they do indeed drive a lot more like regular cars.
I don't have a problem driving an SUV around small cars, and I've never had a problem driving smal cars around SUVs (Or vans, or work trucks, or delivery trucks, or busses or RVs). In fact, SUVs worry me a LOT less than the avereage metro bus driver....
