Big, Hulking SUVs Starting to Turn Green

Eating a doughnut might provide nurishment, but its still going to make you heavier and make your car work harder to move you around. Point is, we are blessed to live in America where we can do what ever we want. If they want to drive a Durango, let them. Just make sure its a 30mpg Durango and you have your problem solved. Then again, people are never satisfied.

You can add hybrid lipstick to a hog, but it's still a hog.
98% of the SUV drivers don't need such a big hog. Switching to smaller cars, and changing our lifestyles to drive less is the only answer.

"Toyota Highlander's hybrid SUV and the Ford Escape Hybrid ranked among the top 20 best-selling vehicles last month, with the Highlander hybrid ranking above the Ford Focus and Toyota Prius."
That just isn't true. Ford sold 1,474 Escape and Mariner Hybrids combined for the month of January. Toyota sold 2,143 Highlander Hybrids. I don't know the number for the Focus, but Toyota sold 11,379 Prius in January. Are you looking at the total figures for the hybrid and gas-only versions?
