First, I'm no fan of SUVs. But not all SUVs are created equal. Most don't handle well, and for those you are correct that they are unsafe over 60mph. But the BMW X5 is an exception, having driving characteristics to rival the best high-end sedans. They aren't prone to flip over like Explorers, Pathfinders and whatnot. I'm hoping Volvo is following the same route; if they're going after the SUV crowd, I hope they do it with the safety conciousness that Volvo is known for. We won't know until the tests are in.

Mike
