A personal bugbear is the Ford Ranger, a ridiculous oversized double cab truck, although there's several similar competitor offerings.
These are apparently the result of successful lobbying by the auto industry to introduce favourable benefit in kind tax rates to those who use them as a company vehicle.

Couldn't see a thread relevant for this. Am sure I'm not alone in noticing more and more outsized SUVs. I find this arms race of ever bigger and more powerful private motor vehicles a massive step backwards in terms of making our cities and public spaces more people centred. However, I don't see any debate happening anywhere about the harmful effects of this. There seems no limit to the size of private motor vehicle you can own nor where and when you can drive it. If there is any debate, discussion going on on this topic in terms of policy, regulation etc it seems to have bypassed me. Anyone aware of any?
