I see mostly RWD trucks and older FWD cars (likely with bad tires) in the ditches. Even 4x4's.
I've lived in every part of the demographic: City, Urban, Suburban, Farm and in-between each. One Winter I slid off the road with 2 vehicles in one day: an RWD, E-350 Ambulance in a driveway (thankfully a non-emergency call -- a tractor had to pull us out); and a Civic on the way home (in rural Ohio after nearly 2-feet of snow). Some good ol' boys in a lifted 4-by pulled me out after an ice-capade. Then the folks pulled me up a hill with the farm truck the same night with the Chevy K2500. The Civic saw better days at that point with a rip in the muffler and tires worn-down from getting stuck on untreated hills. I
had to get to work and back. Nature of the job at the time.
The point is Urban/Suburban SUVs (oddly, one of those terms is the name of the biggest poseur) are clogging-up cities. There are places that true 4x4 use is required, but sales are WAY over and above that figure.
