I wonder if big SUV fans realize what they may be "paying"; especially the big ones and to a lesser degree, even small car based ones. Compared to sedans, Suv's are heavier(hence use more fuel and do not handle as well), need or should have more power(again more fuel and unneeded energy use) and have more wind resistance. As an example, I did have a Chevy Sonic sedan. I'm driving a rental Trax (Sonic made into an SUV). The Sonic performed and accelerated adequately but the Trax is a dog because heavier and it's got the same power. I love my Ford Focus hatchback (a compact car sedan). I know younger buyers today don't care much about cornering, acceleration, MPG and sporty looks all of which sedans( which includes hatchbacks and wagons) do better. Oh, yes, SUV's cost more also.
