Easier said then done. SUVs of all shapes and sizes have the low MPG stigma attached to them and their sales are going nowhere but down even with the increases in fuel economy. $4 gas is effectively destroying the SUV segment in record time. Say goodbye to anything that isn't a crossover because the auto companies cannot afford to keep producing things that people are afraid to buy. They could have the best gas mileage out there but the negative perception is firmly ingrained into the American/Canadian psyche. Because let's face it now, 30 mpg doesn't cut it anymore.
