See that the thing here in Ontario, if someone owns a large suv most (not always) they are the more calm driver (trying to save more fuel or just the fact the suv is slower) and they drive more safely, not the hothead in his small manual coupe.

And there's the cost factor that a large car here is almost twice the price of a small one (yes I know it depends) so your not going to be getting inexperienced first time drivers in massive suv's.
