SUV sales are set to passthose of the family sedan
Small sport-utility vehicles are becoming family favorites. Families say the ride is great, it gets good gas mileage and it has plenty of room in the back. Buyers are willing to pay more for a sport-utility vehicle than they would for a sedan. The family sedan's decades of dominance are coming to an end, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. They say there has been a shift in taste across the board.
Jessica Caldwell, a senior analyst for Edmunds.com says, "The compact SUV is very similar to a midsize car, only taller with more cargo capacity."
