Default Re: Do you think this will lower the price of gas?

Once there were wagons. Then there were minivans. Then there were SUVs. Then they started having SUVs based on car platforms. And now these crossovers are evolving even more.

I still lament the loss of station wagons in our culture, but while it's true Detroit built what the market demanded, a great number of consumers wanted utility and Detroit gave them SUVs due to their profit margins. Detroit has no one to blame but themselves for their short-sightedness, but it isn't like there hasn't been any precedent.
