There are a number of cars with attractive styling, but year after year, SUVs tend to be ugly, like big metal turtles. They are also a lot more expensive than sedans of a similar luxury level. So why do people buy them? Because they can see better from being higher in the air. Never mind that they are less stable and maneuverable and roll over more easily and get better gas mileage. They are supposedly safer. (The odd thing is that a lot of people who think they are safer then don’t wear seat belts.) Over the past few years, some SUVs have had better styling, but it tends to be at the expense of size and interior roominess. A big argument in favor of SUVs is that they are Sports and Utility Vehicles. However, people our age buy them who never haul around a soccer team or carry more than a few bags of groceries. I don’t miss muscle cards at all, but I enjoy looking on Facebook at the photos at the beautiful designs of many cars over that past century. I also enjoy attractive new cars when I see them.
