People didn't go out and buy them since the price went down a bit. Most of them already had the big SUV's so they keep driving 'em. Who is gonna buy them if they sell them? I agree with the complicity of the people. THings don't sell just because the automakers make them; witness the Edsel, Aztek, et al.

But my real feeling is that if gas were $5 a gallon and STAYED there for 10 years before it dropped back to $2.50-$3.....everyone would go out and buy gas guzzlers if they made them.
