Europeans are finally realizing the superiority of an SUV, something that Americans have known for decades now. They are voting with their wallet and leaving poorly designed cars behind.

Cars are uncomfortable to get into and out of. Low sitting positions are uncomfortable when compared to a more natural upright position in an SUV. They don’t have the ground clearance SUVs have when on marginal roads.

I’d argue that SUVs are far superior in normal traffic, the commanding height allowed the driver to see traffic patterns blocks ahead and make adjustments before a car driver realizes it. The low position in a car is inferior in every way in normal traffic.

Safety is far superior especially when in an accident with sedans I’d rather be in a large heavy SUV any day.

Sure cars are better if you want to be a poser and live your Fast N Furious fantasies or if you want to drive the Nurburgring and set “sick” track times get a car. But for every day life in traffic get an SUV.
