Until then, lumping people into a group and judging by YOUR own criteria, rather than society's legally established criteria some would argue, IS discriminatory plain and simple.

It sure is [] I don't like SUVs, so you're right, I am probably being discriminatory.
But realistically, I don't advocate punishing SUV drivers who aren't breaking the law. Enforcing the weight limit or removing the tax break isn't a punishment, it's just fairness. As the article stated, SUV should be classed as cars (with emissions restrictions) or trucks (with weight restrictions). It's unfair to those classes that they get to be in some magical limbo class with no regulation. That's the group that all SUV owners belong to; in that sense they are all "bad apples" (I don't think they're actually bad because it's not their fault).
I hope that clarifies my point a little.
