If that is the case, then what makes you (or anyone else) the ruling judge on what is an acceptable compromise.
I drive a Citroen Picasso and believe me its not a car that you would choose for your own pleasure, its looks, performance nor its handling.
You're right, the 4x4 thing is a small part of a big issue, but it is a part none the less, and you have to start somewhere.
