Could these be the same people that cry about paying $2-$3 a gallon for gas. I don't think Americans are ready to give up their Hummers and large SUVs yet. Its to much of a statis symbol. I've owned 4 cyl vehicles all my life and never had to worry about giving up performance, amenities, or space. I never needed a vehicle that needed it's own zip code.

CBS had a news segment on HCH last year. I'll see if I can dig it up and post it. It really angered me after seeing it.
