We are looking to reconcile the fact that SUVs are safer for the people inside the car and with the fact that their increasing prevalence is bad for safety.

E only tells us that the cars are equally likely be be involved in crashes. If they were more likely this would give us what we need, but e just doesn't go far enough to make it the case that suvs increase risk in some way.
