    I went from a 2 litre saloon to a 1.6 SUV. I think they suck like but their physical size, albeit a problem, is not directly related to their pollution.

      SUVs are heavier. More mass equals more energy to produce and move. More energy is more pollution.

        Yeah that is true but I dont think it is a given that they are heavier. An awful lot of SUVs are just hatchbacks on stilts advertised as such to help people keep up with the jonses.
