What a counterproductive comment in a world where the average SUV is something a lot closer in qualities to a traditional car than a traditional SUV.
Ford's linup is a great example how you people harping on SUVs actively detract from the discussion. What you call the Flex, the Ecosport and the C-max doesn't really matter. They're obviously by virtue of their attributes much closer to a "car" than they are to a traditional truck-ish SUV.
Every OEM's lineup has examples of this (Honda Crosstour anyone?).
The OEMs could make these things very cheaply if they wanted, look at the Maverick, a brand new model debuting at 25k. But they don't, why?
