Sequoias down, all SUVs are down. GM is lucky that they had the GMT-900s introduced when they did, and that they didn't have to spend 2 billion to build a plant to do it.

Nice try though.

Yeah, one thing this does is shut down Toyota's Big SUV/Truck plans. They had the big new Sequoia coming out too. This downturn is hitting everyone, some to more extent then others.
