    First, the “SUV loophole”: under US law, most SUVs are classified as light trucks, meaning they’re subject to less stringent fuel-efficiency and crash-safety standards than passenger cars.

    This has always been baffling to me. Make the standards universal and I reckon people would make very different choices.
