Having just taken a quick look at a CNN story (with AOL Autos help), it seems important enough to direct GoodCarBadCar readers that’a’way. It appears as though, in this time of tough financial scenarios and ofttimes high fuel prices, insurance premiums on small cars and hybrids swing some of the cost savings back towards larger cars and SUVs.
I could enumerate all the reasons and financial implications, but this link to the story is probably useful. Check back on the wknd for any Recall notices from the last week, some great YouTube clips, and Galleries of recently introduced cars.
