It's not a fad...It is a permanent part of the group psychology..."Bigger 
is better"...A lot of people use these vehicles for what they were designed 
for: big, badass status symbols.  But there are also a lot of people who 
just like them, or who "need" them to go about their daily chores and/or 
winter chores...

It's not a fad, it's a reality that is being realized in this 
anti-recession with relatively low gas prices....It is an environment that 
allows people to try to experience what they wish....It may be stupid to 
me, but I laugh behind my tinted Audi windows...
