Small car sales: Why large hybrids are important

Buyers still want vehicles like the Yukon

High gas prices have caused declines in the sales of some large vehicles, but that decline has not significantly increased the sales of small cars. According to the DetroitNews, small car sales are only up .04 percent so far in 2007.

Apparently, it is going to take far more than $3.00 gas to cause serious shifts in consumer vehicle preferences, which is all the more reason that larger hybrid vehicles are important.

While some might think SUV drivers should just downsize, such an idea just doesn't seem possible any time soon.
