I agree Chuck but then again, I would have to say let GM and the other big US mfg's wallow for a while and see which ones survive the change. I have a feeling that the "now lower gas prices" have a direct link to the 25% downturn in SUV sales...ie: now that big oil has drained our bank accounts, let's lower the fuel prices and get folks buying the big Urban Assault Vehicles again to bring up those sagging sales numbers...and then drain our accounts again on the vehicle side of the equation.....This back and forth market swing, higher fuel prices/lower UAV sales...then lower fuel prices/higher UAV sales......guarantee a constant money flow out of our pockets.... After all, it's only a money game to see who has the most cash after the dust settles....
