is it the gas prices? or shifting taste? 10-15 years ago the SUV craze befell america that even porsche made its first SUV to join the bandwagon and earn lots of money. but now the trend is shifting again, this time around towards crossover SUVs,minivans and fuel-efficient vehicles.
Sad State of SUV Sales and YTD % change in sales:
Full size SUVs
- Cadillac Escalade.....-8.6%
- Chevy Tahoe..........-25.6%
- Chevy Suburban.....-29.4%
- Ford Expedition.......-25.1%
- GMC Yukon............-28.7%
- Lincoln Navigator....-7.5%
- Dodge Durango.......+12.0%
- Toyota Sequoia......-11.0%

Mid size SUVs

- GMC Envoy..............-25.5%
- Mercury Mountaineer.-22.8%

the sad state doesn't seem to exist with Dodge and Nissan (their SUVs have been released more recently)

May 5th, 2005 01:15 AM #13exactly. i HATE the fact that most americans buy huge, gas-guzzling SUV's because they really need a minivan but don't want to be seen in one. Originally Posted by OTEP
