One could argue one of your points - The Z3 (E36/7) Message Board

stop making gas guzzling SUV's

Depending on the person's use, it could certainly be argued that little two-seater sports cars are less utilitarian than "gas guzzling SUVs." We drive around at 20 miles to the gallon and can only haul two people. What of the family of 7 that piles into the SUV? They might actually be doing much better on the miles per gallon per person spectrum.

I guess my point is that I would very careful before throwing stones because we Z3ers kind of live in a gas-guzzling glass house ourselves.
