Comments: SUV Sales Slump

"The second, our margins on SUVs are generally higher than our cars and crossovers, which lowered our profits,' he added..."

In other words, they got way too greedy on both mark-up and production and now have a black eye for their trouble. Why on Earth wouldn't anyone want to pay extortionist prices for something that sucks up expensive gas like there's no tomorrow?

That said, I still plan to get rid of my little Honda in a year or two and get a pickup. Just won't drive as much.

And to think that GM killed the F-body (Firebird/Camaro) to re-tool that line to make more SUVs...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Idiots...

Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" are currently banned as well. Another common bounce is any word containing the string "cialis" which means words such as socialism will be rejected. Try putting a hyphen into a word like that.
