Does anyone see Ferarri or Porsche or Lamborghini closing plants? No, and why? Because they know they have a niche vehicle and treat it as such. Make something that your target audience wants to buy and it doesn't matter what kind of gas mileage it gets OR how much it costs.

Huge difference between Hummer and Ferrari.

One company makes performance cars for those people with the means to buy them and keeps the prices high to limit their market. The other company makes a bunch of poser vehicles bought by people attempting to show off and act like some kind of modern-day Rambos.

I'll be happy the day the last Hummer is built - if it's caused by the market and not a shortage of gasoline.
