Nope... some people buy an SUV because they need it or want it... but some do buy one just because it is what everyone else is doing.
Alas, I am old enough to remember when people didn't want the label/tag sewn onto the outside of their clothing because a) they had a strong self worth without a designer label; and b) they didn't want to be billboards for a clothing manufacturer. Why buy Oracle? If you need it, go for it. And, ... If you just want to sit up high, carry more weight, have 4 wheel drive, and have slow performance, get yourself an SUV. But, if you hunt or fish, or live where the snow is on the road many a day... you probably need one... all good reasons. And no one has to agree with me... we're free... thank God.
