The pollution to utility ratios of SUV's are notoriously disproportionate. The solution is to advocate the use of diesel engines instead of petrol gargling variants.

In a city that in itself has limited space, these vehicles take up more space than necessary. But banning SUV's is counter to simple rights people should be enjoying. Taxing them more would seem rational.

Thing is, most Europeans aren't as flashy as the Americans. So to them BIG CARS with obnoxiously big engines are unusual.
