While this is very true they are the same companies who make people want people to want these SUVs. It is quite the circle, all started with advertising. Since the idea of an SUV is a newer one it is much easier to get people to believe they cost that much more to build, but let's say the perspective changes in a few years do you think SUVs will be selling for $14k and cars starting at $38k? Would you rather make $750 per car like the Cavalier or $12,000 per Escalade? Of course they'll market for the Escalade before the Cavalier. Reminds me of the new VW. They try to get huge money out of it but it is a VW, it still has problems well probably more than other VWs, but they try to get people to think it is worth it none the less.
