Aside from your downvote whining, you're exactly the problem being discussed. Like some sort of driving arms race to the bottom.

You also understand that size is not equal to weight, right?

While you have a point. The bigger cars are usually much heavier than the smaller cars. I'm not saying that I agree with SUVs and Trucks becoming the norm, but there's not much you can change from that at this point in time.
