I see monster SUVs aplenty here in Nebraska, and the majority aren't getting tax breaks AFAIK (Suburbans etc). In that light, I think your statement is simply inflamatory.

You also state that hybrids move off the lot 15x faster. They're on the lots here. But my main reason for bringing this up is that, once again, you didn't provide anything to back up your claims.

Ok, you said that in response to a statement about what happens when they get as big and heavy as SUVs. When most people think of SUVs (and particular when they describe them as BIG and HEAVY) I don't think they're thinking of the Escape. Verdict: Inflamatory.

In short, your response sounds reactionary and you don't provide any research or facts to back up your claims.

Huh?

Gee, it must be that pita I ate.
