Large SUVs used to be an upper-middle class distinction factor in Europe, but now everyone of every age seems to want SUVs (which eventually became cheaper). It's not a class thing anymore, you can get SUVs that cost as much as other types of car.

Honestly there are no reasons to buy one other than being part of the trend. I wish there were taxes on the volume of cars here in Europe. We're already cluttered with cars, we really don't need bigger ones.
