Re: Time For a Smaller Car Standard?

Americans are a very pragmatic, live for today bunch. They bought big SUV because they were big, nice riding and gas was cheap. A majority of these people bought domestics. That bunch is still driving their SUV's because they know that they aren't going to get jack for their trade-in. This group is right now looking for that next purchase in 1 to 3 years. This is the group that the domestics need to create a vehicle for. They don't have the anti-domestic feelings the import buyers have. GM, Ford and Chrysler need to create a vehicle for these people.
