In the nature of things it's less what customers want, but the relationship between what is on offer, materially available, affordable and so on... If Ford offers a mustang and an F150 you don't get to pick a small sedan, right? And if you want cyan, and all that's out there is black and white, you're getting black or white... And thus it becomes a question of choosing the least-worst, which is not an indicator of desire as it is one of preference. I think we used to have a wider gamut of vehicle plans and sizes, but it has since contracted severely due to regulations (at least from my understanding). Like AMC and early Subaru were wild. VW busses are iconic but nobody is fabricating anything like it, except maybe Canoo, which has some atrocious leasing option. Anyways all the safety talk is kind of a red herring. SUVs are very dangerous and prone to rolling, as are their kindred truck brethren. Rollovers are also the deadliest form of accident. I haven't checked the statistics beyond that, but I think there are definitely misconceptions about how protective a bigger vehicle is in actuality versus how they're perceived. But I have and will continue to opt for the more agile and better centered vehicle and adopting a driving habit suited to the abilities of my vehicles, including a long leading distance at all times.
