i've discussed this before, but here i go again.
the big issue with SUVs is kind of an abstract one, and maybe that's why people don't really respond to it. The SUV class of vehicles has a market in the United States only because there is a legal loophole that allows them to exist. This loophole allows vehicles over a certain weight (or loading capacity) to be exempt from a number of laws that normally affect automobiles, including safety, emission, and fuel efficiency standards. If SUVs were subject to the same rules as all other passenger cars on the road (including your ferraris and porshes), virtually none of them would be able to get a safety/emissions sticker.
That's my big beef with it. People are often selfish by nature, there's no helping that. But the government should do something to close up that loophole.
