Strictly based on looks, CUVs are ugly, and yet I see so many of them. I don’t get why people like how they look or why this body style is so popular.

Edit: CUV = Crossover Utility Vehcile

    Strictly based on looks ignores a lot of other aspects of the car. I always appreciated small cars, but a recent injury made climbing in and out of my little car excruciating. A friend gave me a ride in a CUV, and I didn’t even clench my jaw getting into it. I’m now entertaining the idea of getting one myself.

      That’s why I said esthetically speaking, but they could make cars that are easier to get into that look a lot better, too.

        Well then I think you answered your own question.

        I don’t get why people like how they look or why this body style is so popular.

        If they aren’t buying them for their looks, they are buying them for other reasons. Reasons such as comfort, function, or practicality.

          But then why make them look that way? They could surely make a body style that fits all of the requirements without looking awful, too. There’s nothing special about that particular body style that allows all of those things.
