Everybody in the media is crying wolf to push their own environmental agenda, but there's nothing there. Gas has to get higher still for it to really impact people's decisions. Plus, you have to look at requirements. There's always going to be a demand for bigger vehicles from those that need the space. With two kids, our Cadillac SRX is borderline too small. When we have number 3, we'll have to move up. It won't be to a Suburban, but a bigger crossover, like a Mazda CX9, is likely. You won't ever find a family of 6 in a Prius.

Look for SUV and truck sales to be bolstered by full-sized hybrids and small displacement diesels. A full size SUV or truck that gets over 20 MPG or better is tough to beat.
