SUVs: Bigger and better than ever
Article Abstract:
Hispanic businessmen and managers who want to buy a sports utility vehicle are attracted to metal content and luxury features. Every sports utility vehicle has a weight of 5,600 pounds which is heavier than the average medium-sized automobile weighing around 3,600 pounds. This means that large V-8 engines using a four-wheel or rear-wheel drive system are needed. The Lincoln Navigator, which has a $39,950 base price, is great for highway driving. On the other hand, the GMC Envoy, which costs $35,860, offers the design of an automobile with the manageability of a truck.
