JOHN FORSYTHE remembers the moment he knew the thrill was gone. It was six months ago, when a fill-up of his Toyota 4Runner topped $75, exceeding the pump’s limit. He had to swipe his credit card twice.

Mr. Forsythe had been deeply in love. He had custom-ordered the leather seats and the sound system for his S.U.V. and had waited three months for it in 2005, while living in San Antonio.


I never ever understood this country's love affair with the SUV. I do hope they go the way of the dinosaur.

Good article..........I hope the people quoted mean what they say and its not a passing fad.
