Apparently a backlash against S.U.V.'s is picking up momentum. Can't come too soon for me: it's ridiculous (1) that these things are treated as pickups (2) that pickups are allowed to have crappy fuel mileage and (3) that governments aren't making reduction of oil usage a national priority. There are now a couple of ads on U.S. television drawing the connection between S.U.V.'s and the War on Terror, and I hope they're making Mr. Bush's friends in Texas squirm.
