However, what really gets to me is the "Luxury SUV" plaguing the streets of NYC - Isn't that an oxymoron? Why do people insist on driving a fuel-guzzling behemoth when even regular cars have trouble fitting in?
They could have easily gotten that same amount of "luxury" without putting everyone else in danger.

Me neither. I drive an SUV, and so does my dad--but we both tow boats around. Try dragging a 3000 pound boat behind your Civic, it doesnt work so well.
However, it has gotten out of control. I dont mind people driving them so much--people like room in their cars, and SUVs are starting to take the place of the stationwagon and minivan, which is fine--but there needs to be some regulation on them. As it is, like Cynthetiq posted, they arent regulated like cars as far as emissions go, and thats no good. They should be subject to the same rules that other cars on--its not like most of them are even built on truck frames anymore.
