Affording it is not an issue, although I do think most people who don't need to drive SUVs for utility's sake purchase them for reasons of prestige. I could afford an SUV, but I choose to drive something smaller that gets better gas mileage because it's consistent with my values of environmentalism and caring about more than my own life.
You can't beat freedom of choice. I would hate to take that from anybody.
