The New York Times has a look at the growing trend away from large SUVs to crossovers. The article (free registration required) looks at several cases of crossover switchers, including one motorist Janna Jensen — it was the dirty looks and nasty gestures from other drivers that finally persuaded her to give up the family’s Hummer H2 for a Honda Element.
