The reason a lot of soccer moms drive SUVs is because of the death of the station wagon. It is difficult to fit two kids into the back seat of a small car when you have to strap them into a car seat, then when you add two or three more if you car pool and a small car doesn't cut it. SUVs, some of them, offer the room to haul lots of children comfortably, this goes for mini vans too but they died out also, at least to a large extent.
They probably don't need the 4 wd but some companies don't offer a 2 wd SUV, some do, some don't.
Making fun of someone's vehicle choice is disrespectful and also goes against freedom of choice, which isn't enumerated in the constitution but is still a freedom we enjoy. Don't want to buy an SUV? Don't. Are SUVs a bad choice for many? Maybe, but if so the many will find out about it eventually and stop buying them.
Your opinion on what vehicle to buy is just that, an opinion for YOU, and not applicable to everyone. I am sure there are many soccer moms who read and post on FR. If they want the advice of automobile experts such as yourself I am sure they will ask because surely everyone in the US has heard of you two major gearheads, correct?
