Yeah, sure. That's why GM, Ford, and Chrysler are all posting record profits, and Honda & Toyota are in bankruptcy :-)

I'm sorry, but that claim is just more evidence that you've internalized Detroit's brainwashing... excuse me, advertising. Americans are no different than any other diverse group of people. Some may like big SUVs in and of themselves, just as others wouldn't have one at any price. Most of them, however, have just reacted to the incessant marketing that shows SUVs as cool, manly, adventurous, safe, etc. SUVs were a fad, just like hula-hoops and pet rocks.
