Government needs to act like high-end business (i.e., capture rich $) when it comes to marketing used as a way to induce behavior bad for society.
Manufacturers marketing oversized SUVs? Fine, don't ban them, just make annual registration fees proportional to weight & size.
$10,000/yr for big SUVs

People who can afford $100k+ huge vehicles because they're emotionally insecure can also afford huge registration fees.
Or, they can be misers & buy small vehicles.
Win/win.
