Why do Americans love SUVs so much?

I think all of us can agree that when you pull into pretty much any grocery store parking lot, you’re bound to be met with a sea of SUVs, usually all either white, silver, or black in color…. what is going on? Are the soccer moms taking over officially now, or do Americans just feel safer driving bigger cars? Do we really need all that space?

Sure… maybe you’ve got kids whom you take to soccer practice! But when you drop them off, you still want a bit of spirited driving. That’s where the HEMI comes in! Is it ridiculous or totally necessary that the 2025 Dodge Durango Hellcat comes stock with 710 HP? Ask most and they’ll say “Unneccesary”, but you ask our guy Nick and he’ll give you a HECK YEA!

Why not wagons? The rest of the world, primarily Europe and Asia LOVE THEIR WAGONS. Does a wagon really not provide enough space for everything we want to do with our cars?
