SUVs and similar cars are worse for society than normal cars -- increased fuel use, increased injuries and deaths from collisions.
That doesn't answer my question. OP said cars - you narrowed it down to "SUVs and similar".
Then you're asking a rhetorical question to be snarky.
No, I’m not and I really don’t understand how you’d come to that conclusion. I really want to know why you’d lump in car ads along with ads for alcohol and cigarettes.
I already gave one possible answer, which is also my opinion.
It's easy enough to imagine someone else might go further with the reasoning about safety, pollution etc and decide all cars should be banned, rather than a subset.
