Thanks for sharing the article.
I've written it many times here before and I'm writing it again: Give these super-compact lovers the choice of getting behind the wheel of a Prius or H2 to conduct a 25mph head-on crash test. Which vehicle will they choose?
You can be a Liberal or Conservative and love Trucks/SUVs, because I know that persons of all political bents value Capitalism and the free-market economy that has enabled America to thrive. Capitalism in which the people support and buy products/services that suit them best. If the public decides that SUVs are not worthwhile products, then they will become part of automotive and cultural history.
Trucks and SUVs are the safest vehicles on the road when all common crash scenarios are considered.
I'd love a Hummer that realizes 25+ mpg and has zero emissions. Hopefully that day will come, but I won't sacrifice safety and utility in the meanwhile.
