Because there are so many SUVs coming out, they will be common column material for awhile. However,other types aren't overlooked. Today's Test Drive, for instance, is on the Volvo S60, clearly a sporty sedan. There are plenty of anti-SUV folks out there who'd have you believe otherwise. Also, SUVs aren't dangerous to other vehicles in the real world.
Statistics show that very few accidents involve SUVs crashing with smaller cars.
I know, it runs counter to conventional wisdom, but when you look at the science, the statistics, you see that the anti-SUV safety arguments are largely emotional. Rollovers are the other frightening thing hung on SUVs. Physics says taller vehicles will roll over easier than lower vehicles with lower centers of gravity. But rollover accidents almost never happen. If you make choices based on fear of rollover, you're reacting to something very unlikely to happen.
