No. It's a question of capability. When I stated that SUVs tend to interact across segments like mid-size to large or large to luxury, the idea is that, someone who's requirements are on the low end of what could be handled by a full size SUV might drop down to a midsize. Likewise someone who's requirements are on the low side of medium might drop down to a small SUV. Very rarely do you see market interaction between a large SUV and a small SUV. A person who needs 7 passenger capability might move from a Tahoe to a Saturn Outlook, but not down to a Ford Escape. Won't even open the "towing & hauling" door. Otherwise the Highlander and the HiHy would also be peeled off of my list.

Peace,

Martin
