I'm inclined to think that the gas guzzler production is a very well thought 
out tactic and will end when fuel prices simultaneously rise sharply.  At that 
point newer fuel efficient cars will promptly come out.  I do not think that 
the BIG car manufacturers are shooting themselves in the foot, but rather the 
consumers are by swallowing the FAD that has been somewhat imposed on them.  
When fuel prices rise dramatically there will be NOONE wanting to buy the gas 
guzzlers.  Their value will drop from BIG bucks to WORTHLESS.  The BIG GUYS 
will have virtually eliminated the used car market for a time.
