Far before that... check out the cars of the 60s and 70s. More stylish, but just as impractical, inefficient and deadly.

SUVs are more deadly than cars in about every conceivable metric.

Mainly to people in other vehicles.

Check out cars from the 60s and 70s that didn’t even have seat belts, certainly not airbags, or body segments made to crumple and absorb impacts.

Right, I disagree with the premise of this meme that things were better before, they weren't. But nowadays you do have options and we have better awareness so if you're still making those dumb decisions like buying SUVs, that's worse in a sense.
