      1. Nothing in there actually says “outlaw the SUVs.”

      2. “SUV” is a silly concept anyway, just a bigger car with bigger wheels and higher base.

      3. A new hybrid SUV today is often more fuel-efficient than a conventional sedan from five years ago. More demanding fuel-efficiency standard is to going to eliminate “SUV” as category.

        Are you sure what a true SUV is?

          You ask as if “true SUV” exists like “true American” or “true Christian.” 😄

          Crossover, mini, compact, mid-size, full-size, extended length, coupe … many types/categories of “SUV” out there.

            A true SUV is body on frame construction, usually a slight modification of an existing truck frame. The engines usually translate from the corresponding truck size.

            There is a reason why Suburbans can last a long time ...

              Typically, an SUV is a vehicle designed to be driven off-road that is primarily used to drive overweight people around the suburbs.

              There's a reason they last so long.

              I was only joking

                  Car makers will adapt, probably with improved battery technology, etc.. As @Doctor-Phibes says, most people do not need an SUV. I think they are relatively (recent) invention.

                      I agree. I dont want the goverment telling me that either, but I think my statement is still true. Most people do not need an SUV. They may "want" one, but they really dont "need" one.

                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
