SUVs are jsut as fuel efficient as cars. The Suburban and Tempo have the same MPG, the Chevy Equinox and Chevy Malibu have the same and the Dodge Durango and Chrysler 300C. Safety, the Volvo XC90 has a higher pedestrian safety rating then the smart Fortow midget car!
I think you're justified to drive a SUV like a Ford Edge or Ford Escape in the city. Fuel efficient and safe (as they are small). If you want an SUV and don't need it, the CUV or compact SUV is fine. They are basically sedan/SUV crossovers. I call them city SUVs, perfect for city use.
I am all for SUV commutes. There is an SUV for everyone. There is the Crossover (or CUV) and small SUV for city or populated area use. Crossovers and compact Sport Utility Vehicles are fine for city use, safe (and safe for pedestrians and other cars because of their small size), fuel efficient and still feel like an SUV. SUVs are good for hauling people, no other car seats 9 people except passenger vans. They can haul trailers. They can haul people, trailer and cargo all at once. Also, did you know that a Ford Excursion V8 diesel gets better MPG then the Honda Insight, Toyota Prius and smart Fortwo combined?
