Default [OT] 4x4 cars on London streets

It highlights the 'poor vehicle
choice' and directs people to a website to show how our descendants
will
'pay for our dependence on fossil fuels

Possibly not that "poor" if you want to flout speed limits and tear
over speed bumps without even feeling them - that seems to be the main
selling point for these vehicles as far as "townies" are concerned and
is something our descendants probably won't be able to do.

Outside rural areas, where people need high ground clearances to drive
across fields, these vehicles are indeed "plain daft" and just seem to
be bought by people who think speed limits don't aply to them.
