SUVs in Asia countries are way to big. Take for example Korea. 2 million cars(new) were registered their last year alone. I am sure that Japan is know better. Sure they have SUV type vehicles, but the biggest I have seen is the size of a Chev "Blazer".

I found that European cars are big in most asian countries. It's a status thing. Most asian countries pay up to 100% sales tax on cars purchased outside of the country. So it goes without saying, that if you own a BMW or Benz, you got money to burn.
