I just don't think they should apply to trucks.

The construction industry and the farming industry need trucks with POWER. And Nifty accessories like 4WD are a must. But Unfortunatly, those things conume a lot of fuel.

If you want to re-define SUV's to station wagons or Sedans and apply efficencey standards to them then fine, go ahead. I'm sure the marketplace will develop a new class of vehicles to replace them: How about a small fuel efficent car that can be connected (or disconnected) to another fuel efficent car... Kind of like a train. Need to take the whole family and soccor team to a pizza party. String 5 or 6 cars together and go...

Hmm...Liberals love trains. Look at Corporate welfare recipiant #1: AMTRAK

This idea might sell. Nah. To dorkey even for liberals.
