    Sigh, every day I walk outside in my city and just behold the larger and ever more boxy SUVs, mid-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and cross-overs, and just think to myself “why.”

      One aspect of it that makes me sad is that even if everyone on earth decided tomorrow that these vehicles are just too big, all the trucks, SUVs, etc. that they’ve already made would still exist out there - we can’t get rid of them.
