I don't look at it as a victory by the tree huggers, though that is certainly a byproduct.....

It all has to do with fuel prices and we ain't seen nothing yet

I heard an official from the Canadian Auto Workers union referring to the shutdown referring to GM on tv using words that would be censored here . It will be interesting to see how the Chrysler/Nissan deal with a version of the Ram replacing the Titan will affect Dodge sales .
Ford is in danger of the F150 losing the title of best selling vehicle . http://www.businessweek.com/lifestyl...516_263921.htm
But actually the combined total of Chevy/GM trucks outsells the F150 . Chevy could take the title by dropping the GM name on pickups and just making Chevys
