The end of the SUV

Permalink 07:57:50 am, Categories: General, Miscellaneous  

Yesterday, GM CEO Wagoner announced that GM is closing several plants that build SUVs. He also said that they may be looking at selling the Hummer brand. Good riddance. This is way overdue. And as usual, GM and the other American car manufacturers are late in recognizing changes. Years back, GM killed the electrical car EV1, and with a complete lack of long-term vision, focussed on gas-guzzling trucks converted to SUVs. They apparently wanted to get customers who needed the oversized SUVs as penis enlargement. Meanwhile, the Japanese car manufacturers once again ate their lunch.
