What is up with sport SUV's

[fabsroman]

My brother just bought a Trailblazer SS that does 0-60 in 5.7 seconds and I just saw an ad for a Jeep Cherokee SRT8 that does 0 to 60 in 5 seconds flat.

Why does anybody need that kind of acceleration in a SUV? Enough people already have problems keeping SUV's from rolling, do they really need additional speed?

I have no idea why the car manufacturers are trying to make SUV's into sports cars. At least Ford hasn't gotten into this craze yet. It was bad enough with the F-150 Lightning.

Then again, I guess this is America, and people are allowed to have as many choices as possible.
