Hawaii is also one of the smaller States in the nation. The Big Island is about the size of Connecticut and has fairly few paved roads. OTOH an AWD BMW station wagon handles snow just fine and gets about 28 mpg on the highway and 22 mpg in the city. The Subaru is probably similar. I am guessing that as gas prices continue to rise, Explorer sales will continue to fall and a higher percentage of Explorer buyers will actually need the truck features the Explorer provides. It wouldn't shock me if the Mercury clone was eventually discontinued. They don't sell very many of them right now. OTOH there is that rumor that the next Explorer will be more of a crossover than a traditional SUV. |
