I don't believe the full-size SUV market will ever completely dry up. For example, I have three boys (and a PIA wife) and I am finding that our minivan is becoming too small for our family. We NEED something larger than a minivan, that leaves me with either a full-size SUV or Crew Cab Pick-up Truck.

We recently sold our '98 Explorer for the same reason, it was just too small for us - and we decided we'd have to sell our third vehicle to help pay for the new SUV. So, we'll be down to the Fusion and eventually the full-size SUV. I'll be going from four vehicles to two and the savings in insurance cost will help pay for the fuel and payment.

There are always going to be people who need or want large vehicles regardless of gas prices and for the next 15-20 years, I will be one of them. If gas shoots to $10 a gallon, I will still need the large SUV.
