"Now owners of SUVs and other gas guzzlers who’ve seen the price of a fill-up climb sharply are getting a second shock when they try to trade in their behemoths. Used car dealers don’t want the big vehicles on their lots anymore because hardly anyone is buying them. Some won’t take them at any price."

Damn, thats messed up!

I believe that the larger SUV's were overhyped and people always "thought" they needed one.

You're right. I just thought they were overhyped. I wish that wagons would catch on (again) because people don't have a huge need. I think they just "feel" safer.

the thing is, these gas prices aren't a product of supply and demand.
