I take the opposite view of that-- modern cars drive like crap, so there's no reason to not have the increased space and visibility from an SUV. You're not losing out moving to an SUV, so why wouldn't you?
For cars to be compelling, when competing with SUVs, they need to drive better. As a result, there's our exodus.
