I'm sure those Toyota's are much wider than any car! I'm off to look that one up!

Perhaps they should buy a 4x4 as they would be able to park better !

cyclists have every right to use the road
the average 4x4 is larger and has a larger engine than the average car
bull bars may be illegal but i still see them on 4x4's
buses and delivery vans have a purpose

Rubbish. If you knew anything about cars you would know that a 4x4 with a 3. engine, uses less fuel emmissions than a Fiesta struggling it's little ar$e with a 1.1 engine Besides, cows produce more harmful gases 
As for being bigger, they are only taller, giving the impression of being bigger. A Jag is longer and wider than 4x4s AND has a bigger engine, will you becondemning them too ?bull bars may be illegal but i still see them on 4x4's
Then you should report them

Luxury 4x4 vehicles sold in the UK average 27.4mpg according to Spyder Automotive, comparing well with the 28.4mpg achieved by luxury saloons and 27mpg for premium sports cars.
The Honda CRV 2.2d manages 42 mpg combined, the seven seat Discovery TDV6 does 30mpg. The new Lexus RX400h hybrid delivers 32mpg despite having a powerful petrol engine and automatic transmission.
Plastic bull bars are not illegal but they collapse on impact.
My vehicle has a purpose too, it's not an ornament
