This is my opinion on matter such as these:
A lot of times, people purchase an SUV because it is the easy, or familiar, or traditional thing to do. They don't even STOP to think AT ALL about how they could manage their life in a six-passenger car or another smaller sedan. Many many people do not even consider going smaller. The dealer uses his magic to convince them to buy the vehicle which HE makes more profit on - the SUVs.
That's our job - to inform people about the advantages of moving out of the SUV and into the car.
If 50,000 people a year moved out of SUVs because they COULD if they THOUGHT IT THROUGH do without the SUV, that would be WAY good for the environment.
