So maybe I'm getting picky. If these cars replaced the majority of SUVs, it would still reduce our dependance on foreign oil.
This SUV look seems to be an obsession....

The picture reminds me of the pacifica wagon...
The PT cruiser (neon drive train) & the GM HHR ( caviler drive train)
are SUV wanna be's The would make great hybrids (retro look) and are designed by the same person who worked for plymouth but quit and was hired by GM.
1. The mini van comes to mind also, its concidered a wagon to the DMV.
2. First Oldsmobile folded, now I hear Caddilac is soon to follow...?
3. Chrysler/damler has the new cool looking POD car that is to be sold in europe.
I think the big three should have gone hybrid sooner than snickering on the side lines at what a joke it was, and it wasn't going to sell.. I guess thier finding out now by scrambling to put out thier own versions and hoping they sell.. (but judging thier reliability records will they stay on the road long)?
