The argument has often been found that SUVs are outrageously huge, gas gosling and unfriendly to the environment. The purchase of an SUV should be the decision of the purchaser and in today's world the innovations with technology has made it possible for SUV's to be environmentally compatible. Automobile manufactures are designing and creating hybrid vehicles, which is a lot better for the environment and better suited for the fast paced lifestyles in today's global economy.

Notwithstanding the fact that manufacturers are creating hybrid vehicles specifically SUV's, it is important for the purchaser to evaluate the reasons an SUV is a viable purchase. If a city dweller, having an SUV is not practical. In my opinion an SUV (4-wheel drive) would be better suited for someone residing in rural areas. During the winter months in a bucolic area it is important to have a 4-wheel SUV, which is better traction to maneuver in such a harsh environment.

I personally reside in the country and some winter days I am snowed in. I have a two wheel drive, which is not practical for my present environment. My vehicle was initially purchased at the time I resided within city limits.

Furthermore, going on extended trips including camping trips, an SUV is a practical thing especially if there are children involved. Going on such excursions an SUV is a lot more spacious and better equipped in terms of safety and durability. Alike an SUV, a regular vehicle will not provide the roominess and durability.

Hence, with the continued innovations with designs manufactures will be able to produce better designed hybrid models of SUVs, which will be more economical and well suited with the environmental standards which exist today. For those reasons my response is "yes" we should still be purchasing SUVs matter of fact I will be doing so in the next little while.
