Put me on the list of people who don’t understand why some people have such a problem with my SUV.
My SUV is safe. If it is more likely to kill you in your little car, well, that’s not my problem, is it?
I drive an SUV with a hightened rollover risk. I drive my SUV with that risk in the back of my mind, always. I always wear my seatbelt, for example. I do not drive agressively. These two traits negate the rollover risk almost completely.
My SUV gets “bad” gas mileage. So what. Gas is cheap, cheaper than water. If gas were more expensive, perhaps I’d reconsider the fondness that I have for my SUV. But it isn’t, so I won’t.
My SUV provides me many benefits. It’s a roomy family vehicle. I am a large person, and I have a relatively large family. My SUV fits my lifestyle.
The complaints about SUVs reveal more about the psychological hangups of the complainers more than actual faults of SUVs.

There must be a name for this kind of fallacy. Unless driving an SUV is psychologically necessary for Buzzcut to remember to wear seatbelts and to drive defensively?
