SUVs. They're too big. They're not fit for purpose (in London, anyway). Compared to typical family cars they consume more resources and energy in the manufacturing process; they go on to consume more fuel in day-to-day running; they increase the risk of serious and fatal injury to pedestrians and cyclists on low-speed impacts; they increase the risk of injury / fatality to pedestrians (especially children) when reversing, due to poor low-level visibility to the rear (and elsewhere); they increase the risk of injury / fatality on impact with other road users driving typical family cars and other vehicles. Oh, but they'll look just great in the Natural History Museum. Sportus Utilitarious Vehiculario, sitting there between the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Triceratops. Mass extinction can't come soon enough.
