Fuel Efficient SUVs on the Horizon

It seems the days of the gas guzzling SUV are officially dead but car makers are still using the concept but in more gas efficient ways according to Popular Mechanics. The Mini Crossman looks especially cool.

Sorry, folks, but the SUV is dead ... as we know it. But all is not lost for lovers of these big, honkin', truck-bodied sport utility vehicles. What? You say the SUV can actually make a comeback? I think so, as long as they're not actually big, honkin' or truck-bodied. No, the keys to the next generation of American SUVs will be advancements in powertrains and severe weight trimming that could actually save fuel and boost economy.
