The better question is why do Americans call utes trucks?

>>16956166
>people liked the ride height
>people didn't like the mpg and the rougher ride
>people didn't need the towing or offroad capability
>CAFE regulations
>carmakers gave the market what they wanted

Crash protection. Crossovers are unibody, and body-on-frame shit tends to roll over in a collision with anything smaller. If it doesn't the body pops the welds keeping it on the frame and continues moving, crushing your chilluns.

I feel that cars should be deliberately unsafe to promote safer driving, personally.
