I think this is USA only. Maybe mention that in the title. They don't sell half of those cars here.

Ireland and the UK are headed this way, if not there already.

The pickups make everyone look like posers but the SUVs are decent enough. I drove a couple, I wouldn't say there is more space but seeing them on the road so often makes me consider it the safer option for a family car. I don't want to going under one of them in a crash. That said I only think that this is how their popularity explodes.

I dunno about Ireland. I live there and I don't really see people drive that many SUVs.

I live along the North Circular Road in Dublin and the things are fucking everywhere.
