My predictions....

GM (and a few other monstrous vehicle mfr's) raises prices.... Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Mazda, VW, Nissan, Smart etc. lower or keep status quo (with respect to vehicle prices + inflation). <--basically what you eluded to

It's as if GM thinks saying this crap will change the standard. It's funny how the American mfr's are complaining while others are explaining how they're rising to the challenge.... But that said - and I think this is very much so related to how we got to the monstrous vehicle age - Here's an interesting read on money.
