What makes it worse is that governments are doing this somewhat unintentionally.

The US CAFE standards that effectively push large turbocharged vehicles were never intended to do so, the UK salary sacrifice rules were never intended to push PHEV range rovers, and the European emissions rules were never intended to be so harsh on Toyota hybrids.



CAFE also had the unintended consequence of helping SUVs because as "trucks" they didn't count against manufacturers.
