The rise in popularity of SUVs has been very discouraging. But really, -if- cars are getting homogenized to the point of lowering interest, I think that's a good thing; having individual vehicles per person is rather inefficient. Having so many different vehicles just makes that even less efficient (and SUVs in particular compound that even further, not to mention costing more).
A shift away from car culture would be a good step towards sustainability, and helping us get to a place where maybe global warming will just be a major expense/disaster, instead of an incredibly huge one.
