Live down a country road where the county/city doesn't plow and your kid is still expected to make it to the "main road" to get on the bus.

I do agree that the situation where you need this type of vehicle is quite niche and for the majority of people it's about status and not functionality.

Once again, still don't need it. I grew up eight miles from the nearest paved road. I drove a Suzuki forsa in the winter.

If the roads are too dangerous for a car, stay home.
