Oh, the automotive industry continues its relentless pursuit of efficiency while never losing sight of that ‘look at me’ power. It’s like the SUVs are in a perpetual arms race, trying to outdo each other in fuel efficiency while still boasting about their 400-horsepower V6s. Who needs to see over the next hill when you can just hear your ‘sustainable’ SUV’s twin turbos breathing down your neck? And talk about marketing, ranking them from least to most fuel-efficient, but still calling it ‘combined driving situations’ – is that like ‘combined driving dreams’? Ford Expedition, you go to 17 MPG in your giant SUV and we’re all impressed? ‘Fuel-efficient’ is not a word that should ever be associated with the Expedition. Luxury SUVs with ‘sports seats’ – let’s just hope you don’t get too sporty while driving them. And BMW, with your ‘versatile luxury SUV’, you still manage to pull off 23 MPG while looking like a luxury SUV? It’s like a SUV with a turbocharger – it might be powerful, but you’re still stuck in traffic. Mazda CX-90, at least you’re ‘relatively new to the scene’ and already boasting 25 MPG? That’s like a freshman in college bragging about his 4.0 GPA. Now if only we could see the ‘combined laughter’ rating of these ‘fuel-efficient’ monsters! What’s next, an SUV that’s ‘all-electric and still gets 17 MPG on a good day’? That’s the only way they’ll ever hit the double digits!
