Yes, most people that drive SUV's don't need them, but others do. Our familly has had an SUV since we owned a '76 K5 Blazer, so it's not a passing fad with us. My dad is a veterinarian, and has needed to move everything from dead great danes to live sick sea lions. I've got many great memories of taking the bronco camping on dirt roads in Death Valley, miles from any pavement or people...

I personally ride horses, and we're in the process of buying a horse trailer. This is either going to require a large SUV, or a large pick up. Seeing as we don't need an open bed, a pickup is a waste of space for us.

Now the hummer is Wretched Excess, as I stated... But it's the only real SUV they're still selling -- the rest are all soccer mom cars.
