I couldn't agree more, tjts1. Manufacturers make what people buy. That is just as it should be.

But we have posters her posting about "...escalade/Yukon insanity..." Well somebody buys the damn things, so manufacturers make them. People aren't buying them and they are piling up on dealers' lots. Guess what? The manufacturers cut back production.

We get another post about Honda introducing more hybrids, but they, too make gas-hog SUVs and pickups.

Just introducing a little balance.
