Dunno why you're getting downvoted for sharing American culture. Your opinion seems to be the mainstream as far as I can tell "in the real world".

I'll +1 you to counteract the downvotes.

To serve as some counter-balance to your post, the bigger SUVs (which are more typical in America) feel unbalanced with abnormally high center-of-balance. When taking a corner at any decent speed, I feel like the car is ready to flip over. Also, big cars guzzle more gas and are inefficient.

Also, I live in an area without Moose. Those things are scary, and I'd definitely get a bigger car if I lived around them.

When I'm in a large SUV or pickup I'm worried about the far greater chance of killing someone else than when I'm in a smaller vehicle.

This concern, however, doesn't seem to bother many of the people in said vehicles.
