I think your logic regarding value is totally backwards. Used SUVs depreciate down to nothing, there are hundreds of late '90s Tahoes and Suburbans on the market for well under $5k. But it is very hard to find a good condition high MPG car for cheap, mainly because there's so much demand for them. KBB is full of crap, just check your local Craigslist if you don't believe me. That Mazda is worth more than the Tahoe today, and will be worth more than the Tahoe for the foreseeable future. I also disagree on longevity, the Mazda will go at least as long. Having the Mazda and an SUV makes total sense, as you have one big vehicle and one excellent MPG vehicle. There is no rational justification for keeping the Tahoe, especially since it will be Tahoe #2 in your household.
Now if you WANT to keep it, go for it. Though I tend to agree with Randy, sell the Tahoe and Mazda and get something a bit nicer.
