	Because they're not environmentally friendly? They're not
regulated like cars are to meet certain minimum MPG limits. I saw a
statistic somewhere that stated something like "If every SUV on the road
today got 1 MPG better, it would save more oil then all there is" [in that
wildlife preserve that they wanted to drill... I can't remeber the name.]

	But... if you have a reason to have one - more power to you. Most
people don't though. I was car shopping myself recently... It surprises me
how low of a gas milege most SUV's DO get... my requirements were 15MPG
City, and 18 highway... none could match that, yet most every car and
minivan I looked at could. :( Even ones as old as 1995.

	That being said... I'm looking at getting a used older LandRover
for those times when I need it... :)
