They are perfectly fun things in the right context. I loved my Range Rover on the motorway when the weather was bad. Being high up you were out of the spray and had superior visibility.
Being higher up it was much easier to load kids in.
The massive load capacity is ideal when you have babies.
With modern car seats if you actually want to carry a 5th passenger and 2 kids in the back then a big wide car is essential. A golf sized car with 2 child seats in it doesn't carry anyone else!!
On the other hand they don't drive well, have safety issues (roll over and stability risks) and can feel pretty anti social at times...
The main use for a Maserati SUV?
To make lots of money from people who want SUVs for no rational reason so Maserati can invest more in making sports cars..
Works for Porsche.
Even Ferrari makes one. Sort of. Horses for courses and all that
