Australia subsidises utes and SUVs to the tune of $250 million a year. That’s a big reason lots of people drive them. It’s time Australians went back to driving sedans and station wagons. Both utes and SUVs have the aerodynamics and handling of a brick on wheels. They’re crap cars to drive, the whole thing is a status game, the ute and SUV is the car everybody has to have, because it’s the car everybody else has. We never leave high school.
