Message 20314170 I am not fond of SUVs. I don't have one and don't want one. If they become extinct, I shall not miss them and I sincerely hope they are not replaced by some other behemoth. Part of the reason people have been buying them is they thought they were safer than ordinary cars. Of course, their safety comes at the cost of other people's lives, since that safety is due to the fact that tank can utterly destroy a car, but a car can't destroy a tank. However, SUV owners are getting in RUDE awakening about the danger of their being killed in rollovers, which are more likely in SUVs. A fact that should have been perfectly obvious to them from the start. There are advantages to the rising cost of gas: people WILL think twice before buying those gas hogs simply because of the cost of running them.
