I wouldn't have a problem with SUVs if they were being bought by the
5% of the driving public that actually have some valid reason to own
and drive such a car. Then the emissions and safety requirements
wouldn't be nearly as important as when they're being bought by 50
or 60 percent of car buyers.
Sticking them in the CAFE requirements would go a LONG way to solving
the problem.
