The answer is simple, its what the average consumer wants. Be it vanity, ego, or just thrills it is what they want. Simple as that.
If the gas prices rise again they will want something else. But in the meantime why wast money and resources on a product that very few want?
During the last fuel price spike you could buy those big SUV's for less than it cost to manufacture them. Now there back at their old prices again.
