They weren't very big in Ohio when I left, though one did see them and mutter something about selfish white suburbanites, and I just sort of assumed they were what people drove in BC because it was BC--where surely everyone offroaded all the time (fact-based suspicion: nobody actually offroads). It was up there that I did notice the sports car niche was being refilled by huge shiny things, which struck me as the absolute worst trend possible, short of actually mounting cannons on hoods or spikes on wheels.
Down here they seem to take their place as the proper completion of something very, very stupid. And they will reliably tailgate you between seven feet and 0.1 cm.
And in general they ranked high on the list of things your voice and brain got hoarse complaining about c. 2004, didn't they? Liberal burnout is a phenomenon that needs some books about it.
