I would buy a hybrid SUV as long as it is comfortable and safe. I don’t want a putt-putt car. If I can’t find the SUV in a hybrid variety, I would purchase an SUV. My ideal vehicle would be a Solar Utility Vehicle….
I would buy a hybrid SUV as long as it can still tow what I need to. I think it would be awsome for fuel economy.
I own a 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid and absolutely love it!! It has a trailering package and mid 300 horsepower and I average 20 MPG. It’s my favorite vehicle ever and I’m 61 years old.
Until someone makes a hybrid that I can load with 4 kayaks and 4-5 bikes plus needed equipment, an SUV is the only way I can roll.
First let me preface what I’m about to say by saying that I love the outdoors as much as anyone. What I can’t stand anymore is the propaganda and demonization of and about SUV’s. A full size SUV (Tahoe, Expedition, Suburban) uses no more gas or produces no more exhaust, or takes up more space than a full size pickup, van or sedan. What is really going on here is simple class warfare. SUV’s are seen as symbols of success and excess. Where is all the outrage against other full size vehicles? Why just SUV’s? SUV’s are the most functional vehicles on the road, I should know, I own 3 of them. I’d like to see the emissions from a Subaru SUV compared with an Explorer, 4Runner or even a Ford Escape. Bottom line is that this is America, and we are free to choose what we want to drive, where and how we want to live, even what we want to eat or wear. By all means if you don’t want an SUV don’t drive one, but don’t even think about telling me that I can’t. As soon as such eco-hypocrite’s as ALGORE start living in bamboo shacks, wearing hemp clothing, and growing their own food maybe I’ll start listening and possibly start believing what they are spouting.
I own an SUV to get me to the back country with my canoe or boat. Until they can get a hybrid to do that I will stick with an SUV.
I own a 1995 Ford Escort, 5-speed, with over 300,000 miles on it. I get 34-39 mpg. I can’t qualify for a “clunker” program. I carry my kayak on top (or if for a short distance, stuffed inside with the hatch back open). I’ve taken this car on many miles of Forest Service Roads, through 3 feet of water crossing a stream, bouncing so hard on FS road rocks that I broke a motor mount. I’ve carried as many as six people in it over these same FS roads.
Sure I’d like an SUV. But until someone wants to create an SUV that gets lots better mileage than my little Ford Escort and doesn’t cost any more than my little car did when I purchased it new . . . I’ll keep abusing the Escort.
