SUV Sales Plummeting

[amberica]

First read the story on Newsday.

Then listen to me as I loudly holler, "DUH!"

I've always said that I really don't have a problem with SUV owners/drivers as such. It's the people who own/drive them but seriously don't need them that bothers me in a big way. This new trend towards smaller, more efficient vehicles tells me that most of these people never ACTUALLY needed SUVs in the first place. >_<

Grumble end.

I would just like to point out (somewhat defensively) that the only reason I bought the F-150 is that I needed it to pull my trailer.

I'm with you on the "DUH!"

Wonder how sales of hybrids are doing? I've talked to a number of people who are looking at them for their next car purchase.

Yeah, I've heard that they are definitely getting more popular. I would like to own one myself, but it will probably be a long time before I do. They are a little pricey!

(And yeah, I know you need that truck, so you are ok in my book!)

Aside from the transmission problems, and I knew this was coming, the first time I spent $90 to fill the tank on that beast I was smacking myself in the forehead wondering what the #*$& I'd done.

It'll be five years before I've got the truck paid off, but when I do I'm going to (plan is at this point, anyway) get a hybrid for general tooling around town purposes. Although I just bought a bike for that reason, which will help...

I'm so gas-savvy, The last time I filled up was the weekend before Hurricane Katrina. I still have about a third a tank left. Kudos to me!
