Their ultimate goal is to shove us into their absurd public transport projects, with brute force if necessary.
By the way, is that car a Smart, made by a joint venture (if my memory serves) of Mercedes and the Swatch watch people?
If so, Car magazine (UK) tested it and if my memory serves, you'll love it if you want to get into really tight parking spaces, hate it otherwise.
I don't like SUVs myself because they're ugly. But my Mercedes 420SEL sedan is hardly a fuel conservation paragon :-).

When they came for the Suv's i did nothing Because I thought they were ugly....When they came for the Minivans, I did nothing because I didn't have that many children, when they came for the Mercedes, there was no on left to help me, and the previously wronged joined in against me....
I don't like SUVs because they block vision. I live in the city and park on the street. I'm tired of pulling out blind and making blind turns into or across traffic because someone has his SUV parked right up on the corner. (Too big to park legally, y'know.)
I've had two friends get their front ends whacked because of this. They were doing the six-inch-at-a-time creep-out, trying to peek around an illegally parked SUV, when they got smacked. As far as I'm concerned, the SUV owner should be cited in such accidents, and be liable for the damages. I suppose we need a new offense to cover this: how about "reckless parking?"
If I were the mayor, I'd make it a police point of emphasis to ticket every SUV that is parked too close to a corner.
