Do you think that those who rant against 4x4s are Luddites?

I mean gene descendants of the original anti tech people with little understanding of mechanics?
Trooper is nice. SHOGUN! ha ha ha ha
Most American "ordinary" saloon cars consume more gas than the average Japanese 4x4!!
MECHANICS.
A suzuki 4x4 is more economical than a ford mondeo and emits less toxic gasses. There you go
A true protester does not drive and therefore has no need for ROADS. And will not be bothered by clogged up roads. Sticking to the pavements is an option
 
I like my 4x4's yea my big one gets 6 miles to the gallon but in case of flood or other disasters I'll have a way out. If you think for a second I won't drive over your car to save my family move far away. I use less then 20 dollars a week in fuel on weeks that I drive.
 
I have one, it's my fourth and i will continue to drive them! I can afford it, the emissions are far less than most other cars and especially anything over five years old, it is averaging 33mpg round town and around 39 on a long journey - i think that's excellent. I live in the countryside and some of the roads are extremely bad in poor weather. I originally bought one as my then, small daughter used to be very car sick - it stopped as soon as i started driving the Trooper. My XC90 will carry seven adults so it is also very cost effective on nights out - no need to take two cars. A number of people who have sneered at them and their drivers over the years have eventually been able to afford one and now keep quiet!
 
actually if you look at what the Luddites where protesting about back in the 19th century had a genuine case as the mass mills & large scale manufacturing was destorying liveilhoods and the artisans way of life - desimating whole communties.
these anti 4 by 4 protesters are not luddites in the correct definition as nobody is losing work and facing ruin and proverty by somebody having a 4x4.
the folk against these vechilces have a totally diffrent agenda. basically they just hate rich people poncing about in large vechiles ferrying their fat middle class brats to school clogging up the roads.
