Hmm... you'd be right if this was ~1995. SUV were meant for off-roading, so if people just get SUV for SUV things, then there would be few on the road. But today, by consumer demand, there are more different SUV models made by BMW than sedans.
And buyers are hustling these things like a sports car. In fact, for spirited driving, many SUV's today handle and corners like it's lower center of gravity counterparts. C&D said of the Macan GTS, "...feels as composed on a racetrack as on the street." Sounds like my kind of car.
I've resisted buying SUV's because of their poor handling and cornering characteristics and to this day have never bought one. But it appears this line of thinking no longer applies. We are far from 1995.
