Interesting stance. While it is true that any car designed to go fast has to be designed to be safe at those speeds, I think the real issue is not cars like the Boxster or 911 or M3 but rather things like the Cayenne Turbo, X5, and S55 AMG, not to mention the plethora of things like Yukons and Navigators running around ( more so in the states than in the EU, but this is a global issue).

A modern, technologically advanced sports car, that is light weight and powered by a modern, powerful though efficient and clean engine is hardly a problem in the big picture.

In my opinion, if anyone wants to drive a ridiculous truck without a legitimate reason (as 90% of American SUV owners do) they should pay hefty fees when purchasing, and annual hefty fees for owning a horribly fuel inefficent vehicle. As I said, this is global problem.
