I would argue that the RAV and CRV are. Platform heigh is equal to that of Jeep Grand Cherokee, and all the new "cross-overs." That category was invented to shed the title SUV, other than that they are only slightly better than their larger monster cousins.
It would require registration data to decide what car is most preferable as you said because my Honda is at 255K and I am going to gamble not one of those SUVs since say 97 made it that far.
Nevertheless, that issue in and of itself points to that fact that people are prone to using them. Ford, GM and Chrysler are pretty shoddy compared to Honda andToyotas lifetime. So if you see very many at all of those larger vehicles its a testament to how many people buy them and then upgrade to the next model year when it falls apart.
