Look, some SUVs are safer and some cars are safer. SUV does not necessarily equal safe. Mercedes cars (e-class, s-class), for instance, are safer than most SUVs, and are safer than the Mercedes M-class. Volvos are moving tanks, whether SUVs or not. On the flip side (pun), many SUVs have rollover problems, etc.
As for the article, it makes me [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] because this tripe usurps perfectly sane reasons to argue for people to make the decision (note, USA = generally free) not to buy big gas guzzlers. On that note, large Lincolns, limos, etc, are gas guzzlers too. The only problem w/ SUVs is they avoid the gas guzzler tax that guzzling cars get hit with.
This particular platform though, that SUVs support terror, is as attenuated as silly as those frigging commercials saying that buying drugs supports terror. One is democratic BS made to tug our heartstrings rather than exercise our brains, the other is republican BS made to tug our heartstrings rather than exercise our brains.
