I'll be the first to admit... If there's a car that'll benefit me more than another I'll buy it! I drive a '95 Toyota 4'Runner... Never had a wreck with it... But did in my '88 S-10 Blazer (yes I won).
The height alone is a great safety feature. I can see EVERYTHING as compared to when I drive my girlfriend's Honda Accord.
So far as environmental waste.. I think that non-SUV owners who I guess are jealous don't understand. They base it on gas mileage, etc... The amount of pollution I create running the weed-wacker or running the tractor is far higher than I use driving the 1 hr 2-way commute to work each day.
It's also been nice to have it when it snows. In Oklahoma our road crews don't get around to their work as fast as they need to and the only way you're going ANYWHERE is in 4 wheel drive.
