We picked one of these up a month ago. Fuel milleage on the 2.7 litre V6 is not much more than a civic. And plenty powerful. Comfortable like any other suv, actually impossible to roll if you get Trac Control.
Even the 3.5 litre with all wheel drive only does 2mpg worse in real world consumption.
There are plenty of vehicles liek this by many manufacturers. So there's no excuse for driving V8 powered 8-14mpg SUVs other than ignorance and "don't give a fuck" attitudes. |
Here's an excuse for me driving full-size SUVs: I hate driving slow vehicles with no horsepower or torque. Here's another: I like being able to tow my boat if I want to take it out of town. Yet another: If you own your own company, a full-size SUV (over 6000lb gvwr) provides a nice tax break. There are a LOT more reasons as to why I prefer full-size over miniature, but these illustrate the point. Just because some people have no use for something, doesn't mean other people don't.
Also, just out of curiosity: If there was a head-on collision between a Ford Excursion and a Hyundai Santa Fe... which vehicle would you rather be in?
