(2,307 posts)Every time I think the SUV is destined to a display in the Natural History Museum next to the T-Rex it rises from it's ashes like a phoenix.
What I am concerned about is the price which causes them to be "endangered" keep going up.
I remember when gas hit the outrageous price of $1, $2, $2.50, $3, and $3.50 or more. Each time the SUV (large land yacht before the SUV) is deemed doomed then prices fall a little, usually just about 25% of the increase and they are back as strong as ever.
Also, as the SUV is on its death bed people buy small cars and they are the envy of the party but they quickly become the wallflower.
I ordered a smart during one of the time periods that the SUV was on the "endangered" list by the time it was delivered the SUV was strong and well, and many people thought I was crazy to drive such a small, two seat car. Recently, I have had people with SUVs next to me at the gas pumps show envy for my being able to leave without having to mortgage my house to pay for my gas. I guess I soon will be thought of as crazy again.
