Czech term

The social importance of cars is quite significant, above all due to the _nevy_.

Not for points Czech to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
this sentence was written by a Czech who left the last word as it appears here (but my emphasis). I can't make head or tail of it from the context. Any ideas?
Proposed translations (English)

envy

I am not sure what the author wanted to say, but what about "envy" at the end of the sentence?
Note from asker:
good point. must be that! of course that would fit in the context (status symbol etc)
thanks
