The 2-Mode system won't save the SUV.... but it will continue to make it a viable option for more fuel conscious families that actually need an SUV.

I wouldn't say you have to have a large family to need and SUV. My wife and I only have one child. Trips to Homedepot seem to warrant it alone. Hauling somehing large or mulch, plants, wood, etc. The SUV is very much needed for the "after football game lunches" and monthly scout campouts. So after the lease is up on the 06 I will be getting an 09. A 2-mode would be nice. And I seriously doubt the SUV is "dead". It may not be in as much of a demand, but I remember it being around before it was mainstream (70's,80's). SUV"s will find their niche.
