One thing I notice is that America's love affair with the SUV seems to be dead. Ford and GM have been hurt so bad they might not even want to go on manufacturing the things.

I've still seen lots of commercials for them. The SUV will be here almost forever. Or until they build a good full size station wagon again.

Of course I'm more of a mini-van person myself. More interior volume and cheaper to buy.

Don't bet on SUV's disappearing anytime soon. Toyota is having a banner year and the Highlander, 4Runner and Sequoia are still selling remarkably well in a tough market. With hybrids coming on line, I suspect we'll begin to see many more SUV's equipped with some sort of hybrid drive system like the Toyota Highlander or Ford Escape.
