Lets face it... any reason why big auto makers
use 1930s technology for their SUVs...
Big V8s (GM,BMW,Ford,DB you name it)
Heavy construction (lots of steel)
High drag (look at that great aerodynamics)
Maximum rolling friction thanks to bongo tires (315 wide tires, cool)
SO 55MPH here you come again!
Much easier way to reduce emissions... simply tax
the weight of cars x CID x sCx x $ per unit.
Simple formula that kills big, heavy, high drag vehicles.
But reality is that consumers don't wana understand that
SUVs are bad for everything thats around and in them.
Regards,
Coolknight
