I drive a 1998 Toyota Camry, but many times I've felt quite out of place in a parking lot trying to find my car hidden in a sea of monstrous SUVs. Go into a school parking lot (elementary especially) and you are likely to see nothing but SUVs and minivans at pick-up time.

Of course, we also own a 2000 Toyota Sienna minivan, so I'm half guilty.

As for pick-up trucks, I don't think I know anyone who drives one who doesn't work in a job where such a vehicle is necessary. I know plenty of people with pick-ups but they all do construction, electrical work, plumbing, painting, landscaping, etc. I can't think of anyone I know with an office job who drives a pick-up.
