I don't have a SUV, but I think that characterization is off target.

It really isn't that hard to figure out. Lots of room to haul people, kids
and their stuff, kids friends, and other general stuff. Four wheel drive,
so you can still go when it snows, or you park in the wet grass, and get
stuck. A feeling of security, when you are driving by a 53 foot long
semi-truck trailer being pulled by a 28 foot tractor, or when pitted against
a little import in a crash situation. Showing, for all to see, that you are
successful enough to be able to afford how ever much gas it burns, no matter
what the cost. The ability to pull trailers with ease, filled with whatever
toys you have, like boats, camping trailers, lawn mower trailers, covered
trailers for moving your kids into school, or what ever other trailer you
might want to pull.

Try doing all of that with your Toyota Corolla.

Too bad they don't give you the ability to stop when it snows.

They stop as well as most other vehicles.

Only twice as heavy and more susceptable to side winds.

I've gotten into a lot more trouble when I can't stop when it's snowing
than I have when I can't go. "Can't go" is an inconvenience, "can't stop"
is life threatening.

You obviously haven't driven many SUVs and are just reading what others
write, who also haven't driven SUVs.

True. And this has exactly what to do with SUVS vs. cars? Cars have
the same problem stopping on slick surfaces as do SUVs.

twice as heavy (which they really are not) means more weight on the wheels,
which give a higher coefficient of friction, plus the fact that they have
bigger tires. It also helps if you don't drive faster than your ability to
stop for the conditions.

If you don't like SUV's, OK, but this is a stupid argument to base the cons
on.

many cars weigh more than my SUV.

like mini-vans?

Seriously, there is no great secret to driving in the snow.
Take it easy, take it slow, allow plenty of room. This doesn't
change one bit whether it's a regular car or an SUV.
