Trust me if a model wasn't sellong it would not have been made. We did not learn from the 70's. Once the proces of gas went down-we wanted our big cars back. Some becasue they are safer in accidents some because well --Size!!!! Men have always liked BIG--you know cars<br/><br/>It is also really hard to sell GM cars over seas because of the tariffs slapped on them. On the other hand we are more than fair to Toyota and Honda. <br/><br/>The automakers have negotiated contracts much more in line with foreign manufacturing. THus was discussed on the mornin news shows. Many mnay people have no idea the large number of wage concessions the workers have made in the past 8 years. <br/><br/>I think we have to bail them out just based on the triggle down effects-but concession need to come not only from workers but from mangment as well. Those million dollars salaries-have to go. If the corporate teams now work for the government their salaries should not be higher than the amount he President of the United Staes makes.

Went with the CRV ... now wish it had been the Prius. When we bought a new car last year, we were torn between the Prius and the Honda CRV (for diff. reasons).
