Yanktanks predate SUVs. It refers to simply the big American cars.



While true, it seem it still applies to SUVs. The Porsche Cayenne is big. The Silverado/Dodge RAM trucks are bloody stupid big : a combination of SUV and Yanktank.

The mind boggles when people go to a "support the environment" rally and then jump in these to go home...

I know it is predominantly Industry we need to look at regards environmental damage but personal responsibility has to step in somewhere.
