And the popularity of SUVs, which fill the luxury sedan/station wagon
niche but exploit a loophole in the fuel economy laws, suggests that
the American public wants large cars when they can afford to own and
run them.

I suppose it is a rich man's option to drive 3 ton behemoth, spewing
insane amounts of sickening fumes into the faces of people who cannot
do anything about that?
Wouldn't it be nice that if those, with the brainpower to become rich,
would also apply their advanced thinking toward accepting the fact
that their behaviour is irresponsible, nay, short-lived? Don't they
give a **** what they leave behind for their grandkids?

"Smell my exhaust, you serfs!" "I am on this planet all by myself,

responsibility to my fellow planet dwellers." "It is all for ME, ME,

"And I will kill those who have more fuel for me to burn!!!!"

Nice.

Ooops...what I was trying to say, was that just because one can afford
