10. That's what I have been saying for weeks now
Edited on Sun Dec-28-08 11:44 PM by doc03
I have faith in the American people, gas prices go down SUV sales go up. I think you all have been giving the Big 3 a bad rap they made SUVs and bigger and bigger vehicles of all types because that's what people wanted. Admit it, Toyota and Honda have done the same. The first Accord had a 68 HP 4 cyl and the 2008 Accord has a 268 HP V-6. Same goes for the Camery and what about those Tundra pickups? One of the reasons the Japanese haven't been hurt as bad is the truck buyers are very brand loyal and it has taken them decades to even attempt competing with the Big 3 in that field. That is the reason they have an an advantage with the smaller cars because the Big 3 had concentrated on the the more profitable SUV and pickup market.
