So? Do you seriously think that less SUV''s on the road will make the Muslims love us & bring all of the troops home? How cute.

That is not the point, but since you mentioned it. Soon Toyota is going to realize that they fell gullable to greed by attempting to grab SUV market.
As more jobs get canned and the recessions sets in, only the weathly will be able to cruse around these big vehicles. Believe me, this place is going to look like Europe (75% small cars). - Reply to this comment

- "I ask him why is GM so out of touch with reality, . . . SUV, big, big trucks when our troops are in the middle east spilling blood to keep these behemoth, gas guzzers on the road. He did not say a word after that . . . I walked out and left him in a daze."

Canada 21.5% (plus HUGE sales taxes)
Australia 16%
Austria 35.5%
Belgium 40.3%
Denmark 29.6%
You are the perfect shill for ignorant posters. - Reply to this comment
- I was at a GM dealership about a year ago. The salesman gave me the rap about how GM is keeping America working and investments are in the U.S.

- Just yesterday, the St. Louis Federal Reserve Chief says that he doubts a recession will happen.
Its scary, but I think when deception and delusion reach the same level of reality to these people in charge of money, its time to buy gold. - Reply to this comment
Are you serious??? $58k a year for NON-SKILLED labor??? With ZERO health premiums??? If you can''''t see what''''s wrong with that picture then you have obviously never had a job. I personally don''''t know anyone with free health care and certainly don''''t know anyone else who makes that kind of money installing a rear-view mirror on a car.
Unions are KILLING this country.
