Hey, what I think is hysterical is how this whole thing cranked up now that
there are so many gas-hog vehicles on the roads. Probably half of US
suburbia is just about 18 months into an S/UV purchase cycle, and as if they
weren't already paying too much for more offroad capability than they'll
ever use, they'll now pay disproportionately more as their polluting
gas-guzzlers become white elephants that they can't even unload on a leery
market.

Anyone want to predict how sales of itty-bitty cars made in Korea will rise?
