All that said, when I was working for Ford Credit I would nod in the direction of Crown Vics, Grand Marquis, Town Cars, and pickups in the lot and say, "Thanks for the tiny addition to my profit-sharing/bonus check."
Larger vehicles are also much more dangerous to pedestrians and other drives. Plus they encourage larger roads, parking spots, etc. which also makes pedestrians less safe. So drive what you want, but there should be some push to control the size of vehicles and encourage small sizes
