Dead Division and Product

For Navigator money ($65k) you can have a Loaded Yukon Denali and spend the leftover $7k on detailing supplies.

The 0-60mph 6.2L in the Yukon crushes the 5.4L in the Navigator...6 seconds vs. 8.6 seconds

Big SUV are at the end of their life the mid size is where its at now.

Big SUV are at the end of their life the mid size is where its at now.

You are right to some extent. Mid-sized segment is growing.

The increase in sales of small SUV is coming from a decrease in the sale of sedans, not from decreased sales of full-sized SUV's.

The top three selling vehicles in the US are full-sized trucks. Demand for these vehicles continues to be strong according to recent sales figures:

Manufacturers make the highest margins on SUV's and Trucks...they will keep pumping them out.

I think these big suvs are over soon, there is no point to have these when you could have a truck to tow with and haul cargo. I wonder if they will get rid of these or make them into something else?

I could not do everything that I do without a large SUV.

I often have in excess of $200k in inventory riding around with me. A pick-up doesn't provide the level of security that storage inside the truck does.

I also often have several people riding around with me at the same time. The four seats in my Yukon allow me to accomplish this easily; while hauling inventory in the back.

In a small SUV, I could not do both at the same time.

My third row seats went into storage the day I picked up the truck.

I think we will see a 400 hp ecoboost v6 from this and some aluminum designed by alcoa, translates to maybe 25 -30 mpg!

That would be a huge jump form the measly 310 horsepower in the current 5.4L V8...it's a Dog!

Same engine as an Expedition EL right? It's no rocket, but I wouldn't call it a dog.

0-60 in 8.5 seconds....DOG

Yukon Denali 0-60 in 6.0 seconds...flying brick

That's half the problem today. When did 8.5 seconds become slow?

I'm young and I love a fast car, but 8.5 seconds isn't actually slow.

Now something like a Jetta S with 115hp, that is a dog.
