To pick a nit:
"There is more room for occupants to rattle in a collision" With proper design the larger volume makes SUVs safer -- more space for crumpling before injury occurs.
Who would have imagined I'd ever say anything good about an SUV!!

"Their height is more likely to crush the other guy's vehicle." I'm waiting for somebody to start selling an SUV that is so high that it will just flip over when they hit a smaller vehicle like mine.

I find the article itself very sad.
