The trend toward small cars
21st August 2006
For years, America, especially Texas, has loved huge vehicles. Here in San Antonio, we love F-150′s Expeditions, Dodge Rams and Armadas. Recently though, there’s been a change. There are many more small fuel-efficient cars on the streets today. On the way to work this morning, I saw 2 Toyota Prius hybrids. For San Antonio, that is significant.
With gas near or above $3 per gallon, and oil prices out of control, more people are downsizing than ever before. If you are still considering a large SUV, then this is probably the best time to buy. Incentives are very strong, and dealers are willing to discount them heavily. Are you still consideringa large SUV or truck? If so, why?
