New Member - SUV Onwers of America

[RD4]

Glad to be a part of this forum. SUV Owners of America, with more than 25,000 supporters represent the interestes of more than 100 million Americans that own light trucks - SUVs, pickups, vans and minivans. As many of you may know there's been a strong anti-SUV movement for years and we are the voice of reason defending the right of Americans to meet their vehicular needs in the manner they choose.

I just skimmed through your press release "Federal Fatality Data Show Positive SUV Safety Trends," that stated that SUV fatality rate in 2004 declined 4.7% and rollover fatalities declined 1.0%.

I was wondering if this has anything to do with the new "crossover vehicles" gaining in popularity? Are they considered SUVs? If so, I'm assuming they'd be less prone to rollovers.

Anyway, welcome to the forum!
