Sorry, I don't think they would sell as long as other cars are available. Too many people have to have top of the line options and want to keep up with the Jones. I heard on the news just one day last week that SUV sales were increasing again in the Charlotte, NC area since gas prices have dropped to about $2. a gallon. I would probably buy something like that with the exception of not having A/C. After all my '88 Escort Pony is as plain Jane as it gets no A/C, no radio, no P/S, and a 4 speed manual transmission, my brother bought it new in '88 for $5888. It was run in a newspaper ad to draw a crowd so they could try to sell them something more expensive. I think my brother told me when he went in to see about it the salesman wasn't even sure whether they had one on the lot or not.
