An SUV typically handles better than (and is cooler looking than) a van, yet will still comfortably carry a family if that’s your life. Older folks with creaky joints like the height, so they don’t have to crouch into a sedan with its lower seats.

A big wagon is still a better car - roomier, drives better than comparable SUV (lower centre of mass). If old/injured folks would be the only ones getting them, I would understand it. But that's not the case.

That last one is interesting, but the first argument works just as well for cars like Volkswagen Sharan etc which are also very popular and given all things perhaps cheaper?
