Yes it's very odd that at times when oil is running out, the 4x4 cars are becoming popular with the middle classes. Naturally, any manufacturer worth their salt respond to demand; somehow the goal posts move along as they've always done. Fifty years ago, a tiny 750cc Renault 4CV with a roof rack was an acceptable family car. It may may be that people feel safer in a high and heavy car. But secondary safety is at the expense of primary safety since 4x4s are more likely to roll over and brake distances are longer.
