Every time gas takes a price hike at the pump the libs start this crap again about how the Big 3 aren't building what Americans want. The reality is that Nissan, TM, Honda, and everyone else who builds cars is seeing their sales in the tank and THEY aren't building Escalades. The principal difference is these other OEMs are not stuck with insane labor contracts. That's not all of it. But it is a significant part of the problem. Yet, you ask these libs if they want to get rid of the unions who CAUSED this mess and it is "hell no. Unions are great!".

You guys believe any BS the MSM prints! Are you saying Lutz's memo is not real? If so, prove it. GM has many small cars, hybrids, and has sold electric vehicles. Where? In your fantasies? They couldn't have sold a lot of SUV's if people did not buy them. Do you understand the use of advertising to create a market? The exec is right there will always be a market for large SUV's because they have good utility. But there will always be a market for even frivolous gas guzzlers, it will simply be a smaller market share. Get the financial markets going again and they will be popular again, though maybe not as much as they were. Why would you want them to be popular again?
