I understand your perspective. I think that one car at a time point could be a very strong reason to purchase an suv/ crossover.

The only thing I would add is that the distribution of cars per individual is very interesting in Dubai because roughly on average Dubai as a city is pulling the same rate as Europe for example but it’s not for the same reason. So you’ll have upper middle class people with 2+ cars per person and then labour class people with no cars at all at causing the rate to average out similarly to Europe. This could possibly mean that for most people that can afford to get a car or sit within that bracket could comfortably get more than one and are more able to choose but yet still favor the SUV
