This sounds like a great idea for large cities, where traffic is more of an issue, but in Minnesota and other cold areas, you need the extra weight of an SUV to simply get up a hill in the winter. Also, I cant see one of these pulling a boat or a trailer of firewood... It doesn't matter what kind of gas mileage it gets if it can't be useful. Half of my time spent driving involves hauling (snowmobiles, boats, lumber, etc.) and am afraid to say that my SUV would still get more use, no matter what the price of gas is.
