the onyl reason they exist in the US is because a regulations loophole.

The EU doesn't have that loophole, so SUVs don't even have that reason to exist. Which you can see, as SUVs are super rare in the EU, while they top all car sales ranks in the US in the last couple years

SUVs are not super rare in the EU (unfortunately). They are pretty common in cities and cause a lot of accidents.

SUVs and crossovers are most popular cars in Europe.
