Just when you think the SUV is dead, consumers will latch on to something even worse. Remember that SUVs only became popular after the early 90s environmental movement. Maybe energy prices will make such wasteful vehicles impractical for the foreseeable future, but you never know what's gonna happen.

"You're vehicle is ready"!! Gotta love glaring errors like this, especially on international marquee brands. I saw a BMW X6 in Toronto yesterday, an ostentatious SUV/Spaceship styled thing. How anyone could drive something so ridiculous looking even at the best of times is beyond me.

Unforunately I are not ready until later this week. Can we postpone?

They aren't disappearing, it was my mistake.

Of course, the worst thing about the ad is not the placement, but the glaring error in it.

Why are articles disappearing these days? I thought this one was great. "You're"

Why did it take so long for SUVs to die?! Would they hang around forever it gas prices didn't go up. They are impossible to park and look stupid - shouldn't that be enough?

Okay, it took me at least ten minutes to figure out what you were talking about in this article. Not everyone is as internet savvy as you - for instance "this cringer" link in the second paragraph - I had no idea what you were alluding to and had to study the link and ads to figure it out. It may cost you a few extra words, but you should try to be a little clearer. I mean, you spend an entire paragraph paraphrasing a fairly straightforward article, you could spare us some explanation. Being witty is fine, but being unclear only turn readers off.
