Responses to your points:
>1) This is America (freedom of choice)
Yeah, but what about "common sense"? And the constitution didn't exactly have a provision for SUV's now did it?? ;-)
>2) SUV are no worse than pickup trucks or vans, so why the focus on SUVs
Uhhh... Because they're "trendy"?
I don't have a problem with trucks or vans with a company name on the side... It's just the poor choices that people make with regards to automobiles.
>3) Most of the complaints about SUV are 100% directly related to the drivers
>so why bash an SUV and not bad drivers.
Yeah, you're right. It *IS* the drivers. Like when I see a soccer mom speeding down the road in an Excursion while gabbing on the cellphone... Well, why do you think she bought the thing? Probably because she KNOWS she's an accident waiting to happen so she might as well surround herself ("and the children") with lots of metal!
>4) How long can this bashing trend go on.
We're only getting started! ;-)
This debate will NEVER end... Well... Until gas prices in the US reach European levels.
