2007 - year of SUVs?
Thinking of changing your ride this year? With the impending GST hike, car dealers are pitching to potential buyers to log in their purchases before it turns 7%. Is that called GST marketing?
This is also the year with arguably the most number of new SUVs or cross-over models to reach our shores. There's the new Honda CRV, Subaru Tribeca, Mazda CX-7, Suzuki SX4, Audi Q7 just to name a few. Lifestyle cars are steadily gaining in popularity versus the family sedan. SUV owners typically like the commanding driving experience due to its size and height; giving it the road presence that smaller cars tend to give way when they see one of them in their rear view mirror.
The higher ride and better visibility are common reasons why SUV fans love them...
So now, what happens to the rest of us non-SUV motorists? Do we get lesser and lesser road visibility and presence as this trend continues?
