Why you should think before buying an SUV - The Economic Times: "It may be too much of a good thing. The SUV craze back home is a bit like Indians gorging on fried chicken and sugared water even as the developed world is looking for healthier alternatives. Big, fuel-guzzling and arguably less safe (than sedans) mean machines are catching the imagination of affluent Indians at a time when relatively more fuel-efficient smaller cars and greener alternative like electrics and gas-electric hybrids are being spotted on roads in the Western world.
You can't blame Indians — who are just beginning to wean themselves off a diet of mediocre UVs — for falling for the bewitching looks of these chrome-dripping machines with macho grilles and muscular shoulder lines. This writer, too, has in the past clocked thousands of kilometres on highways, expressways and country roads on the majestic elevated perch of a multi-utility vehicle that roared as much as it purred depending on the terrain underfoot"
