Bad News for SUVs
Kelley Blue Book came out this week, saying that more owners are selling their SUVs now than ever (even though they’d probably get better prices in fall and winter). Now it’s reporting that sales for the biggest of the hybrid SUVs – namely the Yukon and Tahoe, didn’t scratch the service of what they were “supposed” to be.
I have to agree with David Friedman, the research director heading up the Union of Concerned Scientists’ vehicle program, who – according to the NY Times – wonders if GM is serious about selling hybrid SUVs or just in improving their image. They aren’t easy to buy. If you live in certain areas, you might get one by special order, and advertising hasn’t done enough to help spread the world.
While hybrid models are only $4000 more expensive, many consumers just don’t know about them.
