I thought all of the SUVs were in prison for wreckless driving and manslaughter...

Wreckless driving, as in driving without having any wrecks, is a good thing.

Perhaps you mean "reckless."

While this may be true, it was the CAFE standards that created the demand for SUV's and doomed the station wagon, since station wagons are essentially heavy cars. So manufacturers switched to SUV's and Mini-vans, since they are "trucks" and exempt from the CAFE standards. The Amazing thing is that the average gross vehicle weight in the country has remained virtually the same since the early seventies, as families switched to SUV's. CAFE standards have proved to be a joke, Bigger vehicles are safer, and how many families really want to take a trip to Costco let alone take a cross-country trip in a pinto, just to save a little gas?
