Exceptions include people who actually use their SUV for the U part, or drive to work which is in the badlands or something.
I live in the city and I drive an SUV. Are you saying that the emissions from my old manual-choke-carb '85 Civic would somehow be healthier? My exhaust is probably less toxic each minute running than most cars in here except a Prius. It doesn't go offroading but it's amazingly predictable in deep snow or ice and I can drive it over a curb or speedbump without freaking out.

All of our cumbustion-based vehicles pollute and not all of our drives are necessary. Let's not be casting stones. Let's be offering to mold me a solid painted grille (block) with a small naca slot or two.
