What we need in this country is the right to drive what we think we need without any interference. Its called freedom.I dont think anyones trying to take away your freedom to drive what you like , just you will pay more to drive a bigger vechicle (wether it be through gas tax or tolls or whatever ) . for what its worth i own a van , a truck , and 3 motorcycles .
not having decent public transport options limits your choice , therefore limiting your freedom .
2nd trick op , our entire country could probably be classed as rural . ( only one city , wellington has anything like European population density , due to topography ) . i live in a small town , public transport is severly limited .

The only train trips I regret are the ones I didn't take.
