The SUV trend will end eventually. When? I can't predict, but as previously stated with gas prices hovering at $1.50 or so, there's no real incentive for people who own SUV's to ditch them. Especially, those people who own them, but don't have a lot of kids ot anything to tow. When gas prices go up, and they will, those people will start to sacrifice image for practicality. Remember how big the cars were until the early-mid 70's? After that energy crunch cars got smaller and imports got more popular. The big three were forced to create smaller cars to compete. It will be interesting to see if history repeats itself.
