The real key is that automakers have failed to think creatively when it came to answering customer complaints in implementation. Take the one at the end of the article:
"'I wish it was smaller and easier to park,' is probably a common complaint among owners of full-size SUVs. Making an Escalade or Expedition smaller to “please” such a customer would be foolish. But don’t bet against it happening!"
Rather than making it physically smaller, automakers could take the approach of using technology to make it feel smaller. That's what Infiniti did with the QX80. It's an absolutely huge SUV, but has cameras under each of the side-view mirrors, one up front, and another in the back. From this, they stitch the images together into a 360 degree view that looks like the vehicle is being watched by a satellite above. Despite it's size, it's easier to park than my small Mercedes roadster which is so low that the front splitter can't clear parking blocks, causing a great deal of anxiety every time I pull into a parking space.
