You're right, but prepare to be spanked by a few of the delusional

No dilusions here. They wanted the SUV they bought. What more reason
do they
need?

How do you know they wanted them? ...

That they bought them is pretty good evidence. What motivated that want
is, also, their business, not mine (nor yours)...after all, marketing
folks deserve to make a living, too.

A lot of them bought the sizzle. Or, they were just stupid. Example: A
couple I know had an Escalade, thinking it would be great for hauling around
the three kids and some groceries, something I did easily with my 92 Taurus
sedan and I was buying enormous loads of groceries at the time. The wife
later got a job that involved a 40 minute commute. She was surprised to find
that she was getting about 12 mpg doing 55 on a flat highway. They sold the
tank and bought some GM sedan.

Surprised? Did she expect the tank to get significantly better mileage than
the numbers on the window sticker? What an idiot.
