Yeah why don't we make this into a 'look a this example, so it is true discussion Pete'....a great way to kill a discussion anyway. I mean, how about all those millions without a SUV....how do they survive?
I also vote for sending SUV to Africa...every african has the right to own a SUV...I mean....food...wel you can do two days without....but an SUV....no way.
Beside your personal experience Pete. SUV are for normal use unnecesarry, they consume on average a lot more then lighter cars and they are also much more dangerous for the trafic-members that are not in it (like people in smaller cars/ on bikes/ pedestrians).
Everybody can come with excuses to buy the biggest car available...it is however a lot wiser to come up with reasons to buy a small car, that is very fuel efficient.
But seeing as most people wont do that...the 15 % tax idea doesnot seem bad to me.
