Default Re: BanSUVs.com Targets the Source of Pollution and Safety Concerns

This isn't suprising, in europe cities are contemplating banning ICE's completely. There should be a huge tax/insurance type thing for SUV's, that's for sure and the $15,000 tax return for heavy SUV's has GOT to go. It will be hard to ban them completely, especially with the wide range of SUV sizes and fuel consumption, but I suppose you can focus on the weight and FE to narrow it down. Enforcing such a 'ban' would be difficult, to say the least, and what about trucks? They are almost as bad, or worse because they can't even hold as many people usually, even though most are driven with just one person. I guess they just fall into the same category.
