The reason I hate SUV's is that they're too big..You can't see around them, can't see over them, can't even see through them because they have darkened windows. Driving behind one in a standard size car or beside one is like driving in a tunnel. Then, there's the problem of parking between two of them in a shopping mall parking lot ( parking slots marked 'COMPACT CARS ONLY) deters them not a bit. When backing out, again you can't see around them, over them, or through them so that you have to inch your way back so you won't be hit by traffic driving too fast down the aisle. Then, when you drive at night, because SUV lights are mounted higher than the normal car, you're forced to look into the lights of oncoming SUVs.. There are other reasons but this will do for now.

Well with the parking thing you definitely have a point, but that sounds like you actually hate rude people, not SUV's.

As for the other complaints about size, if you drive an MG you can make the same complaint about any mid sized car on the market.

In other words, size doesn't matter.

The fact that you find them larger than your preference doesn't really persuade me that they're evil, just that you should get a bigger car. I personally get annoyed at anyone who won't get out of my way, no matter what they drive. I'm subscribe to the school of thought that thinks that there should be a constitutional amendment against driving in the left hand lane slower than the person behind you.

And in my neck of the woods there are people who always drive with the high beams on. They are far worse than the slightly higher (but correctly aimed) SUV lights.

The left hate's SUV's because they represent an indulgence in personal liberty, and a wiggle around their precious cafe regs. If the only people driving SUV were college professors, then it would be no problem, but since it is for the most part the enemy (ie people with spouses and kids) they object. They say the words "soccer mom" with contempt, and argue that we should all be coerced by force to adhere to the same values as them.

Sorry but I am respectfully unconvinced by your argument but I do hope you work out that parking thing.

The thing i hate about these SUV DRIVERS is when they drive in front of you they drive 40 mph and hit their break-lights every 5 seconds for no real apparent reason but when they drive behind you no speed that you are driving is ever fast enough they flash their brights repeatedly...I think thats a clear indication of someone that needs an extra dose of viagara. LOL!
