When things get boring, there is nothing better to bring things back to life like an SUV thread. I love reading everyone's Posuer Logic posts.

3-4 month wait for the Prius here in NY. and people are already lining up to pre-order the new Honda Civic hybrid.

Quite honestly, if I was in the market for an SUV, I'd just wait a year or so until a flood of them hit the resale market. The employee discounts have driven down the resale value of those vehicles tremendously, making it possible to get months-old SUVs for rock-bottom prices.

IF true, market forces at work, nothing more, nothing less.

I think the last Ford Excursion rolled off the line yesterday.

They're going to be a great buy in the next few weeks.

Who cares about mileage when all you do is want to launch your big boat into one of the Great Lakes?

Nice thing is that some of us can afford them...

Time to get the Cadillac Escalade! WHOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!

Cat, Cummins, Detroit should be able to come up with an
inline four banger (TDI) diesel that has the torque and mileage
numbers...all that has to be done is to get the EPA and
Greenies out of the way...

The end of the SUV era, you knew it would happen sooner or later.

Sales of sport utility vehicles took a dive in September

Microeconomic theory at work
individuals, making personal decisions, using available information at hand
Pure, raw, capitalist self interest at work
Do not get in the way, or you get run over

WAY PAST TIME to broaden the available mix of transportation
modalities to the American people from the Big Three

My favorite, is to make a new category of car
say, engine displacement < 1000cc
and apply the same regulatory policies to it as to a motorcycle,
instead of the much more onerous regulations on personal cars
Thus greatly decreasing the cost of manufacture

Not all SUV's are doomed. One of the lessons of Katrina is the need for a bugout vehicle and I am looking at a 2006 Nissan Xterra. There are very few hard core off-road SUV's out there and this fits the bill nicely. Its larger than a Jeep Wrangler and the new Toyota FJ doesnt come out until next spring at the earliest.
