more on SUVs

["Mike Albrecht" <mike.albrecht@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 First they came for the SUVs, and I didn't speak out because I didn't 
 drive a SUV.  Then they came for the pickup trucks, and I didn't speak out 
 because I didn't drive a pickup truck.  Then they came for the 
 motorcycles, and I didn't speak out because I didn't drive a motorcycle.  
 When they came for my Alfa, there was nobody left to speak for me(pardon 
 the paraphrasing).
 
 I bet an Alfa hit by a '69 Chrysler New Yorker would look the same as one 
 hit by a SUV.  The fact is that the American consumer likes big cars.  If 
 you take away their option to buy/drive a big car, the unintended 
 consequence is the emergence of the SUV.  What happened to all the Caprice 
 Classic station wagons that were on the road in the 70s and 80s?  I don't 
 remember the concern for the impact of those behemoths on cars in the 
 past.....
