It's not like the Japanese have a crystal ball that helps them predict market trends. The Big 3 apparently think everyone still likes to take sunday drives with 12 people in their Caprice Classic or spend their Saturdays hauling bails of hay from farm to farm. We have a Rav4 that I can only justify because I hunt 8-9 months of the year and don't drive much the rest of the time. Our other car is a brand-new Nissan Versa that gets primo mileage. If I could see that one coming, why couldn't an auto exec making $250,000 / year? Yes…and people wonder why American auto manufacturers are struggling to stay afloat.

I've heard reports of car dealerships that won't take SUV's as trade-ins. They can't move them anymore. Aaaaaand amazingly enough, once again, the Big 3 never saw this coming. Do you think they employ ANYONE old enough to remember the 70's? Turkish Prawn Yup.
