Why do People insist on buying big SUV's or Pickup's and don't have a clue how to drive them?

And the agreed misconception translates accross the board when every driver changes type.
ex:
Camry driver hops into a Corvette. The car can do 180 mph but does the driver have a clue ?

Car drivers too often hop right into the U-haul they just rented BUT…do they have any real idea how to operate a freight truck ?
