I also don't see the idea why SUVs don't get gas guzzler tax. If the tax wishes to discourage fuel-inefficient vehicles, then it should be imposed to all vehicles that guzzle gas. While production of supercars and ultra-powerful sedans is being deterred by this, automakers can freely build big 4x4s. It very much defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
forget about the Audi/VW comment. it was an inside joke na hindi bumenta :down:

the gas guzzler tax loopholes do need work. trucks are exempted from the tax because the gov't didn't want to penalize business owners who needed these rigs to do productive things. now that very few suv's are actually used as work vehicles, they should be considered passenger vehicles that are subject to the same regulations

(actually come to think of it, there was some talk about abolishing that loophole here in the states. ma-check nga yung papeles nung suv ko to see if the tax was paid....)
