How quickly are SUVs selling?
Overall SUV sales, in a time of war, were up six percent in 2002. Think of that: a six percent increase in vehicles that virtually guarantee our continued inability to thumb our noses at oily Persian Gulf potentates. With slogans like “Keep America rolling,” Detroit is offering no down payments or finance charges on many SUV models. GM, for instance, enhanced its “Zero, Zero, Zero” program in December by offering no-interest financing on 13 SUVs for up to 60 months.
