@pezmico Sure you're giving out speed x mass equation, and there's no doubt they cause less damage in the long run. But it's without a doubt that speed is has a much higher factor, so it doesn't matter much if a car you posted or an SUV when it goes at higher than 50 KM/h. It will still kill you. You either count all cars as "murder machines" or you count none.

They all provide utility. You could argue that city people don't *need* SUVs but to call them murder machines is fearmongering.
