> Meanwhile, no country has succeeded in outlawing SUVs

All sorts of vehicles are banned from roads. Not banning SUVs doesn’t indicate that were unable to ban SUVs because of some lack of ability to regulate vehicle types on roads.

Read "unable" as "lack of political will", the conclusions are the same.

Precisely. There is a lack of political willpower, not regulatory ability.

Perhaps more lack of interest on the part of the body politic. Lots of people have / like SUVs so don't want to see them banned.

Absolutely. SUVs are popular. They are the best selling vehicle type. Should be self evident that people generally dont want to ban them.
