Most SUVs are driven by one person going to work on dry pavement.

True, for most of the time, but when you do want to go somewhere on
vacation, or the weekend, you have the capability.

Most do not pull trailers.

Some do, sometimes. Not which ones have a hitch. Lots do.

Most do not have 4-wheel drive

More do, than do not, I would guess. More vehicles with 4WD are pickups or
SUV's, though, right?

and I quite often pass
them like they were standing still in the snow with my Saturn wagon.

You still have to know how to drive in snow, which most do not. They are
worthless on ice, as is your wagon.

The safety aspect is suspect.

Ah, so true, but notice I said a "feeling" of security. g I *do* like
sitting up higher than a low car, even if they are not as safe as some cars,
though.

I'm not a fan of SUV's for everyone, but I do understand why so many people
want them. In my ideal world, I would have a SUV for times when the size is
needed, and a little gas mizer for when I am driving to work and back.
