The problem with the "why don't the car companies build them lower" is that through the SUV marketing and so on, they've got a large share of the public convinced that it wants to "sit up high". Look at the smaller, supposedly build for fuel economy models: they stick up like over-filled muffins. Compare for instance Honda CRX with Smart Fortwo.
