Have SUV's peaked? The downward spiral begins...
 

Found this interesting... http://www.detnews.com/2005/autosins.../A01-90583.htm

So, crossovers are the new wave of the future? Bleh! If they didn't make the interiors of FULL-SIZE SUVs so damn small I'd prolly still have one.. maybe a nice 'Gator like my bro. But alas, this crappy interior ****pit design that encloses the driver has ruined SUVs for me. Pity.

IMO

SUV's are over rated. I dont like em.

TRUCKS are the way to go!

way more deaths in mid-size suv's and small cars than what we drive:D ...zap!

I really Enjoyed my Expy. It was identical to my '97 F-150. Only diff was the bed was covered and I had lots more seats. I don't get the SUV haters... full size SUVs rule. If the Excursion had a decent dash, I would have loved one of those monsters...

This article is more focused at the full-size SUV decline: http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/...-12-suvs_x.htm

I don't hate SUV'S, I would just pick a truck over an SUV since you can do more with a truck then you can an SUV (IMO) not to long ago, my mother picked up an 05 Escape Hybrid, thats a very nice small SUV though and I can't believe how nice it is driving that hybrid around in town, it is so quite since the mother does not turn on until it hits 25mph!

Well, I'm not SUV hatin (much).

I just dont perfer a BUS. :D

I love this term "crossover"


theyre AWD station wagons.

I can just hear the sales reps now... "no sir, thats not a station wagon... its a crossover vehicle"


like somehow that changes the fact that these are what AMC was doing 25 years ago.

I saw an AMC Eagle AWD yesterday. It resembles a cross over vehicle for sure!

I like trucks and SUV, and the crossovers..

I guess I'm just easy to please..

Full-Size SUV's typically fair better in an accident than trucks do; if you don't believe that: www.abcnews.com.

Full-size luxury cars fair even better than SUV's (Because they are heavy and they don't have a rollover tendency).

Although I'm not setting out to have a wreck, I do want to be in a combination of the safest and coolest vehicle, that I can afford.

Cost no object, I'd be driving an S500, S600, 745Li or an Audi A8-L.
