You are right to some extent. Mid-sized segment is growing.

The increase in sales of small SUV is coming from a decrease in the sale of sedans, not from decreased sales of full-sized SUV's.

The top three selling vehicles in the US are full-sized trucks. Demand for these vehicles continues to be strong according to recent sales figures:

Manufacturers make the highest margins on SUV's and Trucks...they will keep pumping them out.
 
I think these big suvs are over soon, there is no point to have these when you could have a truck to tow with and haul cargo. I wonder if they will get rid of these or make them into something else?
 
it says leaked, but I dont know if it is the actual grille and car

I could not do everything that I do without a large SUV.

I often have in excess of $200k in inventory riding around with me. A pick-up doesn't provide the level of security that storage inside the truck does.

I also often have several people riding around with me at the same time. The four seats in my Yukon allow me to accomplish this easily; while hauling inventory in the back.

In a small SUV, I could not do both at the same time.

My third row seats went into storage the day I picked up the truck.

I think we will see a 400 hp ecoboost v6 from this and some aluminum designed by alcoa, translates to maybe 25 -30 mpg!

That would be a huge jump form the measly 310 horsepower in the current 5.4L V8...it's a Dog!

Same engine as an Expedition EL right? It's no rocket, but I wouldn't call it a dog.

0-60 in 8.5 seconds....DOG

That's half the problem today. When did 8.5 seconds become slow?

I'm young and I love a fast car, but 8.5 seconds isn't actually slow.

Now something like a Jetta S with 115hp, that is a dog.

So, a tick and a half slower than the 5.4L Navigator

2.5 seconds.

While an increase in power would be nice, the current engine is more than adequate.

I've driven cars that can hit 60 in under 4 seconds, but when I get back into something that takes 8 seconds I never think "Wow, that's slow".

the current one produces 365hp and 350 ft lbs of torque, some are saying it would hit over 400hp
