I don't disagree with anything you've argued, really. That lifted Excursion is obscene. I live in a city populated by 25 year old assholes that make $120K/year working on the oil rigs, and they have nothing better to spend their money on than jacked up 1 ton pickup trucks that they use to drive to the movies.
Clotaire Rapaille talks about SUVs and egos, in his brilliant book, The Culture Code. You should watch the PBS Frontline segment where talks about his work (it's the fourth clip, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/fr…). He sums up the how/why of SUV design really nicely.
That being said, I do require a large SUV for some of the reasons I've stated earlier. A minivan won't work, neither will a wagon. So I'm going to be a used one, not a new one. And it's going to be a second vehicle; 90% of the time I'll drive my small Japanese sedan that gets 30MPG.
