The lambdas are nice vehicles. The Vue and Equinox aren't bad either. But they BOTH get under 30mpg (and most real world tests have them under 20mpg) and they are too expensive. I don't know about anyone else...but both of us have full time jobs...pretty decent jobs....but when you consider grocery prices, gas prices, home utilities, saving for kids college, housing/mortgage prices.......I just can't see getting a Lambda 'moderatly' equiped for over $30,000, or a fairly well equiped Equinox or Vue for the mid $20k's. We just don't have that kind of cash laying around...a few years ago maybe we'd consider it...but it doesn't make sense anymore.
Times are changing, and it isn't just with regard to fuel economy. An auto company simply can't expect to make a vehicle better and still get that much money for them. People looking for $30k vehicles before are now working $20k vehicles now.
