Hey and marketing plays a big role. Every 80s yuppie some how thought they had to have either a BMW (wimpy 318 was fine long as it was a Beamer and cost plenty) or a Honda, acura, etc. Now they think they have to have an SUV.
Just went on 9 hour interstate drive today. Believe me there are a lot of Tahoes and Expeditions out there. So far US rules the SUV and they ain't driving 70 either. Yeah there are ricer SUV's but they are really wimps compared to a big Surburban.
And don't forget the old F150. How many fleets of Toyota's have you seen. We have not seen many here in Texas. Yeah there are some Tundra's out there but if you want a real truck a Mazda B210 just doesn't get it.
There is something bogus about resale value anyway. It is a gemick to get your mind off how much you are really paying for that new car.
