Paris Could Ban SUVs

"An anti-sports utility vehicle (SUV) resolution passed by the city council could lead to a ban on the popular vehicles in about 18 months if it is included in an overall project to improve traffic flow in the city, Deputy Mayor Denis Baupin said... Baupin, who often cycles around Paris to promote more environmentally friendly transport, called SUVs a caricature of a car and said they were not adapted for use in a city."CNN has also published a similar story, "Paris bid to ban designer jeeps" (Thanks to Richard Sicha for the CNN link.)
