-hhIt can "very?" The above sentence is nonsensical. What the heck are you trying to say?

pedantic, aren't you? ;P-hhed
Beats projecting.
it's not projecting to point out the truth (remember alan is the guy that just asked "That actually is a possibility, isn't it?" to "everyone else is overcompensating but you, you were just being smart").
I easily could have claimed that I was just being "smart", but to make such a claim can very without also providing any substantiation would ring hollow.-hhAlan Baker
Quite obviously, he had one when he NEEDED one.ed
quite obviously, the mention of a timeline for when it's a fad is something he thinks is relevant, otherwise why bring it up, right? :P-hhed
It doesn't absolutely resolve the objective question of 'need', but its a pretty reliable indicator.
a simple yes would have sufficed, no need to justify below. :P
As I said above, I easily could have claimed "Yes", but to make such a claim can very without also providing any substantiation would ring hollow. In retrospect, I think it was a fair decision appropriate for its day and no regrets.
And from a chronological standpoint:The SUV craze started in the 90s because those wacky enviro-fanatics in California were able to make it so that station wagons were taken off the roads but since the need to haul a big family was still present, people were buying SUVs.

In terms of actually being used for their design function, by 1998, the percentage of SUVs that were ever being used off-road had already fallen to 13%...

...and by 2005, this number had fallen even further, to just 5%...

Add the high-CG and rollover,
the West is DOT-mandated to have tire pressure monitoring kits and the like, because these macho "compensators" don't even know how to check their tire pressure anymore.SUVs have come a long way since the time you bought one. At the time, I would never have considered buying one. It's not only about tire pressure it's active safety systems that were absent when....you bought yours.
cameras because they're running over their own children in their own home driveways.Because we all know that people never run over people in sedans.
