I understand what you are saying, however, the automotive market has shifted dramatically in the last 2 years alone. With the exponential increase of gas prices we are seeing a more consumer-conscious America when it comes to buying cars. You couple that with the recent recession and you can deduce that the days of gas-guzzling SUV's are coming to a close. It is the US auto industries fault for not bending with the curve. They are now being outpaced by foreign products and it serves them right.
