If I were single with no kids to transport I’d get one if the price was right.

If I were single w/o kids, I’d still drive an Expedition — it’d just be a quieter ride.

You couldn’t lower the price enough for me to drive one of those matchboxes. Part of the reason I drive a large car (other than all the people I’ve got to transport) is, if I get in a wreck, I want to make sure I win it.

People can impugn the safety of SUVs all they want (rollovers, whatever) — you’ll not survive an accident when you’re not even big enough to hit the body of another car (i.e. your body hits their tires). I’ve had family members walk away from catastrophic accidents (including one with a dump truck hitting a driver door at 45mph) precisely because they were in a large car (Suburban, in the case of the dump truck accident).

It’ll always be big cars for me.
