Stop buying the gas hogs, and the manufacturers will stop making them. Buy up the econo-boxes, as an alternative, and the manufacturers will make more and more of them. Of course, you would have to buy only the models that are all tricked out, so the manufacturers may maintain a decent profit level, and continue to subsidize the sale of their low-volume lines. You can have economy, but it won't be cheap. You will pay in dollars, you will pay in additional numbers that will die in small light-weight vehicles, you will pay in an overall drop in productivity. But you, too, may do your bit to end the "threat" of SUVs.
