Persuasive Essay: Pros/Cons of SUVs
Since exploding on the scene as Athe world=s greatest fighting machine@ at the Proving Grounds of Camp Holabird, Maryland, in 1940, the Jeep was the worlds first SUV, helping soldiers on the battlefield of World War Two, and later becoming an instant icon in the United States . Today Jeep holds the title as America=s most beloved vehicle, and in following Jeep many other car companies have followed Jeep and have created their own line of SUVs. There are people today who now believe that SUVs should be banned because of their fuel efficiencies and other debatable issues, while there are others, myself included, who believe SUVs should be kept on the roads, and then there is the government involvement in the issue. To start with, there are many people like environmentalist and activists who are against car companies building SUVs.

Also car companies are huge money supporters for the United States government and by making a law like this real would loose the interest and money of these companies, and the government wants all the money it can get. Next, there are people ,like myself, who support the production of SUVs, this is because there are many advantages to SUVs, like they are safer, can hold more of a load, and can be used in off roading. The first reason SUVs should be kept on the road is that they are much safer in many more ways than a car. SUVs have much better crash ratings than that of cars, this is because their mass in an accident creates more of a barrier and thus makes crashes much safer in an SUV. SUVs are also much bigger than cars and can hold much more. SUVs can seat more people, carry mor
