"If" fuel prices in America keeps on climbing, will that mean that the market for SUV's and trucks gets smaller? or are they gonna sell in the same volumesbecause they are a big part of American culture and lifestyle?

I think It would take some time .
But if after say a year of high gas prices and they dont look to fall I would bet the SUV market would feel the pinch.

I doubt it, people are dumb. They will continue to buy their hemis and then complain that it cost to much to fill up the tank.

Here in Jersey lowest price I found was $187 for just plain old regular... well unleaded regular.

In spite of the increase in prices SUV sales are experiancing a boom.
Go figure

Funny how we dont see the "No blood for oil" argument being raised anymore.
Though myself personally I have no problem with it.
Mankind has gone to war for just about everything else.
And without it everything in this country would very soon come to a screaching halt.

Ford, Chrysler Boosting SUV Rebates

Quote

Date Posted 05-13-2004
With sales of big SUVs expected to fall as gas prices continue to rise, Detroit's automakers are boosting incentives on their large sport-utility vehicles.

Yeah, people are so stupid and won't change to the point that Detroit is boosting rebates.

But then, how could the manufacturers know more about demand than say..... somebody on this BBS.

I hope the "Big Three" have someone monitoring this board so they know the way it really is out here.

LOL. You now have a GEO, and sold your truck. After selling 30 cars a month, at 10K plus? Bad planning.

SUV owners drive them because they CAN. You can't.

This is extra funny to me. Thanks, TxWobble.

I sold my truck and bought a New focus so my wife could have a NEW 350Z to go along with our NEW 4.480 sq ft house with the three car garage where we park our two new cars and our 2000 ford explorer .

LOL and there all paid for including the house wise guy LOL .

So hows that mortgage going for you?

I don't see what you guys are complaining about. You wanna know how much it costs to fill up my plane with 60 gals of 100 low lead? It burns 12 gallons per hour; the fuel costs on average $3.20 per gallon. Do the math!

I'm betting that you're not going to find much sympathy.

Dood... you have a plane!

Mr. Black, first you boast about how much money you have then you turn right around 2 post later and flame a guy because he has money. Please pick a side of the fence. Your flip-flop's are in the Kerry range.
