Sales of the perennial best-selling SUV, the Ford Explorer, dropped by 58% compared with September 2004. Its larger kin, the Ford Expedition, which gets 14 mpg in city driving, saw sales drop 61%. Ford stopped producing its even larger SUV, the Excursion, last month.

GM’s full-size SUVs, due to be replaced with more fuel-efficient models next year, fell 56%. Sales of its Hummer H2 - so heavy it doesn’t fall under the EPA’s fuel-mileage ratings system -- were off by 31%, but the brand’s smaller new SUV, the H3, is off to a brisk start. It’s rated at 16 mpg in city driving.

Toyota moved 46% fewer of its immense Sequoia sport-utilities, rated at 15 mpg city, and sales of its smaller SUVs were off sharply as well. Sales of Honda’s largest SUV, the Pilot, fell 26%. Nissan sold 20% fewer of its 13-mpg Armadas.

Can I get hell fucking yeah?

I've been waiting for this to happen. SUV's deserve to be recalled and recycled. Leave only a few left for viewing purposes in museums, to remind us of the idiocy in making such a large vehicle that has a vortex for a gas tank. Granted the only large vehicle I like is a the very first hummer, because how many vehicles look as fierce as the first hummer. Now would I ever own one, no. Yes you could criticize I could never afford, ha... ha. But I'm too logical of a person to buy something that isn't efficient or cost effective/logical.

I still like Mini Coopers, sure you can hate me, but I've always thought it'd be hilarious to see me pull up, or come out of one of those. It'd definitely be green. I might even get a custom paint job to make the vehicle look exactly like a real turtle with the dark forest greens. Better believe the interior would have a foresty effect as well...

What can I say, I love green.

SUV's remind me of Fergali, SUV's are the black tar thing killing our world.

It was a nice read to see their (SUV's)demise.

God I love being an earth sign.
