>now I have to wonder what all these family folks were driving before
the SUV's became a trend setter<
I think they were driving Delta 88's, Chevy Caprice Wagons and LTD's. But
since SUV's slide (or plow) through a loophole in the CAFE (Corporate
Average Fuel Economy) standards, they can't build full sized cars any more.
But SUV's qualify as trucks and need to meet another standard. The buyers
are happy, Detroit is happy, and as long as they are happy, Congress is
happy to oblige.
