I believe that the SUV/SAV market will level off. We've seen a major spike over the past 5-7 years. Within that time frame, everyone that wanted to be in style (shall we say) ran out and purchased one. I think that will change. There will still be a market for this type of vehicle, but the customer will be a more practical one....soccer moms, dual income families, etc. Take me for instance...I'm not married yet, I don't have kids to tote around, I don't go on long trips that often, and I don't even carry backseat passengers. So, why would I drive a SAV...It's what I like. Most would say that my ///M3
was fine...I would agree, but I wanted the experience of the SAV. Since I am now on my second X, I'm hooked. So I might be somewhat of the exception, but as long as I contine to be blessed, I'll drive the X.
High gas or not. I believe we have two options as SAV owners...Drive or sell...there isn't a DAMN thing we can do about this gas situation........Phil

Oh I forgot to answer your initial question B...I don't think the value will fall too much. It's like anything else...when you find someone that sees more value than price tag, it's sold!!!!
