Not only are the sales of largest SUVs declining,
resale value is also racing downward. All of this as
happened as GM's large hybrid SUVs have hit the road,
but are these hybrid
vehicles the solution to high gas costs for SUV
drivers?
Probably not. In the last two months GM has sold a
combined 1000 such hybrids combined.
It's not that hybrid SUVs, such as the Chevy
Tahoe hybrid or the GMC
Yukon hybrid, don't offer a huge increase in fuel
economy, they do. With a 50 percent improvement in
city fuel economy, these hybrid SUVs provide a great
increase in fuel economy over their conventional
counterparts. But they are still huge, and they cost
$50,000+.
For those needing a large SUV, these hybrid SUVs are a
good deal. For everyone else, however, smaller
vehicles seem to be looking better by the minute, or
at least every penny that gasoline prices increase.
