What do you mean by "know"? Most of my friends & neighbors, certainly. I expect there are also some differences in road conditions between Michigan and the Northern Nevada/Northeastern California area where I live. Perhaps I need to take some pictures...

A Subaru Outback will do that.
Maybe, though I've seen Jeeps high-centered on some of the roads I drive. But if you're using it as a daily driver, you're still getting not very good mpg, while not having much load-carrying capability. (By load, I mean 6-foot pine logs piled in the bed, and either about the same load in a trailer, or hauled down a slope that I needed 4WD with chains to get up.)
