I'm also an owner of a Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ to be exact). I think that people need to substitute "big vehicle driven by incompetent driver" for their use of the term "SUV". I have seen the extreme example of this when I lived in Grand Forks, ND. During the beat-harvest season, many of the companies would hire underaged drivers to drive huge beat trucks. These kids would go from one harvest to another, oftentimes going days without sleep. I was run off the road several times when I lived there. Regardless, bad driving by anyone in any vehicle (even a bike) can kill you. I think people are just too enamoured with the sport of picking on the vehicle du jour.
