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,
eating and drinking and driving what ""I"" want." " I have NO
responsibility to my fellow planet dwellers." "It is all for ME,
ME,
ME *diabolical laughter*."
"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
it, doesn't mean one has to be stupid about it.

So get the laws changed so that station wagons and old-style luxury
cars aren't unduly penalized and you'll see SUVs mostly go away.
