Nobody wants big trucks, except for the hundreds of thousands that buy them.
From ABC:
But for the US automotive industry – damaged by foreign competition, rising gas prices, and hesitant consumers – “small” might be getting even smaller. Microcars loom large on the horizon, as many companies are investing in, or at least considering, lightweight, economical, and quirky vehicles that are most often associated with zigzagging down European side streets – not keeping pace with semi trucks as they barrel down US highways.
The AP has:
Also, the company’s F-Series pickup trucks remain the best-selling vehicles in the country.
So we’re supposed to believe that everybody wants the tiny little shitbox cars.
On a side note, a guy that works at the same place I work (I really wouldn’t call him a co-worker) bought one of those “Smart” cars (really looks like a dumbass car to me). He was bitching about the cost of repairing some scratches on the roof caused when someone attached a giant windup key to the roof of his car.

This thing is fucking retarded.









When those things can go through 12 inches of snow, during an ice storm, in 30 below temps, and still get me home in one piece, then let me know. Until then, I will stick with my 4-wheel drive, gas guzzling jeep.
