Heh, the 2-door SUV came before the 4-door one. Dad's Blazer was a 2-door. It was a pain in the arse to get in and out of that backseat, too. Dude, if you're going to choose between one two-door (the Corvette) and another two-door (that @$^! Blazer) because you're having a kid, you should've gone with the one that fit more when your dang kid's interests, haha. Obviously that wouldn't have been the truck (unless he went out and bought a dang racecar to tow with it!). Sure, the Blazer had a backseat, but it sucked climbing in and out of there.
When four-door SUVs came out, there was much rejoicing in the house. Well, sort of. I still think ditching it for another Corvette would've been the wiser decision.
My parents liked to ski--I didn't. I fall on my butt and would rather stay in where it's warm or make a snowman. So, they wanted a 4x4. 2-door SUVs make sense if you don't frequently use the backseat or if you're looking at classic trucks where you don't have any other options.
What doesn't make sense at all to me = 2-wheel-drive trucks. I guess that's how you separate the soccer moms and compensating poseurs from the people who actually need a damn truck.
I guess the sitting up high for better visibility thing makes a little bit of sense, but whatever gains in visibility to me are completely negated by the fact that I'm a zillion miles up in the air. I like the cornering abilities of being much closer to the ground, thankyouverymuch.
