Re: GM SUV plant in Arlington will shut down for 3 weeks
I just want to point out that gm has sold 70,000 large suv's in the 1st quarter, the market is down no doubt but there are still plenty of people who will buy one 4 dollar gas or not. Everyone's needs and wants are different. What seems ridiculous to you may be perfectly rational to someone else.

Re: GM SUV plant in Arlington will shut down for 3 weeks
Why in the world would anybody buy a gas guzzling zx-10r or vulcan 900 when you could by a 100mpg moped for <$1000!? What are people thinking?

In an ideal world for GM, they would not need to "push" people into vehicles with lures like that. The big cars would sell on their own merits, and would sell near sticker. Just as they should no claim with false logic that people "do not want" small pickups like the 2008 Colorado/Canyon Crew Cab -- a vehicle that currently has zero GM incentives on it....conversely they cannot claim that people "do want" vehicles that only sell well with big fat, tempting incentives on them, like the f/s trucks and SUVs of GM's. As long as big incentives are being offered to move the big vehicles, the automakers selling them are effectively subsidizing the cost of gasoline. I don't think you'll find many Americans willing to buy the big gas suckers for close to sticker --- whereas they apparently will when it comes to a Toyota family sedan, for instance.

Re: GM SUV plant in Arlington will shut down for 3 weeks
because maybe you just want one? fact is, if you've got the money for the gas, the Tahoe is a damn nice vehicle and a lot of people like them. you've clearly got something against SUVs, and if you don't want one that's fine. for people that do want them and have the means, an HHR is not the same thing, and it's really not even a good substitute. SUV sales are dipping, but they're still popular.

If you want a 12mpg vehicle go get you a New F450 Super Duty Gas burner. That is the kind of new vehicle that gets crappy mileage. |
