My cousin just got an Acura MDX in the spring, it sits beside her husbands Cadilac CTS. They have been married for 10-15 years and have no kids and i dont think they ever will. The reason they got it is because it is big and nifty gizmos. Thats pretty much what she said when she was talking to me about it. And after owning it for a month, she still couldn't operate the nav system it came with. These are the people that never, by any line of reasoning, need an SUV.

The basic argument for most people not needing SUV's, even people like TAG, is that north americians have done with not having them for decades. or at least not having too many of them. How many of us grew up with a couple siblings and no SUV? I have 2 brothers and we never needed one, or a minivan, or a wagon. And so, either things have changed dramatically in the last 10 years, or people have found excuses for buying SUVs
